    Six domesticated PiggyBac transposases together carry out programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium

    Julien Bischerour, Simran Bhullar ... Mireille Bétermier
    The machinery that carries out programmed DNA rearrangements is composed of domesticated transposases. One is catalytically active, five play architectural function essential for the accuracy of the process.

    Genetic integration of behavioural and endocrine components of the stress response

    Thomas M Houslay, Ryan L Earley ... Alastair Wilson
    Behavioural and physiological stress response components are integrated on the major axis of genetic covariation, with implications for health and the understanding of the evolutionary response to stressors.

    Genetic basis and dual adaptive role of floral pigmentation in sunflowers

    Marco Todesco, Natalia Bercovich ... Loren H Rieseberg
    Variation in patterns of floral UV pigmentation is controlled by a single transcription factor in sunflower and affects both pollinator attraction and responses to environmental stresses.

    Alone, in the dark: The extraordinary neuroethology of the solitary blind mole rat

    Yael Kashash, Grace Smarsh ... Tali Kimchi
    A new ethologically relevant model for investigating the neurobiology of solitary, asocial behavior in the blind mole rat.

    Cross-species functional diversity within the PIN auxin efflux protein family

    Devin Lee O'Connor, Samuel Elton ... Ottoline Leyser
    Comparative genetics between distant plant species shows that for the PIN auxin transport proteins differential membrane and tissue-level accumulation, transport activity, and interaction result in different functional properties in the shoot post transcription.

    A population-level invasion by transposable elements triggers genome expansion in a fungal pathogen

    Ursula Oggenfuss, Thomas Badet ... Daniel Croll
    The activation of transposable elements and relaxed purifying selection underpin an incipient expansion of the genome in populations of a major wheat pathogen.

    Kin discrimination in social yeast is mediated by cell surface receptors of the Flo11 adhesin family

    Stefan Brückner, Rajib Schubert ... Hans-Ulrich Mösch
    Structural, biophysical and physiological analysis reveals how yeast cell surface adhesins evolved to confer self-nonself discrimination in single cells and whole populations.

    Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

    Timothy R Fallon, Sarah E Lower ... Jing-Ke Weng
    The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.
