    Mutation analysis links angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma to clonal hematopoiesis and smoking

    Shuhua Cheng, Wei Zhang ... Wayne Tam
    Comparative analysis establishes genetic links among angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), clonal hematopoiesis, and concomitant hematologic malignancies, and provides insights into the cell of origin, etiology, and biomarker discovery for AITL.

    Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent

    Klara M Wanelik, Mike Begon ... Steve Paterson
    Genetic variation can have multiple effects on different phenotypic traits in organisms living in the natural environment.

    Interplay between acetylation and ubiquitination of imitation switch chromatin remodeler Isw1 confers multidrug resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans

    Yang Meng, Yue Ni ... Chen Ding
    Isw1 acts as a master regulator in modulating the expression of drug-resistance genes, and this regulatory mechanism is dependent on the interaction of Isw1 acetylation and ubiquitination.

    Slightly beneficial genes are retained by bacteria evolving DNA uptake despite selfish elements

    Bram van Dijk, Paulien Hogeweg ... Nobuto Takeuchi
    Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) helps slightly beneficial genes persist in microbial populations, incentivising cells to invest in costly DNA uptake, even in the presence of harmful selfish genetic elements.

    Evolutionarily conserved regulation of immunity by the splicing factor RNP-6/PUF60

    Chun Kew, Wenming Huang ... Adam Antebi
    The splicing factor RNP-6/PUF60 suppresses immunity by modulating host splicing and transcriptional responses to infection.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    A network of epigenetic modifiers and DNA repair genes controls tissue-specific copy number alteration preference

    Dina Cramer, Luis Serrano, Martin H Schaefer
    The genetic background of a cancer cell and the chromatin organization of the tissue-of-origin impact the amount, length and position of somatic copy number alterations in cancer.

    Rap2 and TNIK control Plexin-dependent tiled synaptic innervation in C. elegans

    Xi Chen, Akihiro CE Shibata ... Kota Mizumoto
    Plexin controls the spatial distribution of synapses by locally inhibiting Rap2 small GTPase activity along the axon, and a Rap2 effector, TNIK, which also plays a key role in inhibiting synapse number.

    Tribbles1 is host protective during in vivo mycobacterial infection

    Ffion R Hammond, Amy Lewis ... Philip M Elks
    The pseudokinase Tribbles1 is expressed in human monocytes after mycobacterial challenge and can be manipulated to be host protective against mycobacterial infection, due to control of innate immune cell function, in a zebrafish tuberculosis model.

    Extreme positive epistasis for fitness in monosomic yeast strains

    Hanna Tutaj, Katarzyna Tomala ... Ryszard Korona
    Monosomy in yeast results in numerous gene dosage insufficiencies with potentially lethal collective effect, but strong positive epistasis rooted in the modular structure of cell metabolism cancels it.
