    Genetic disruption of WASHC4 drives endo-lysosomal dysfunction and cognitive-movement impairments in mice and humans

    Jamie L Courtland, Tyler WA Bradshaw ... Scott H Soderling
    Cellular etiology of a human WASH complex mutation in mice reveals its specific roles in neuronal organelle trafficking and a surprising role in motor impairments.

    Sequence features of retrotransposons allow for epigenetic variability

    Kevin R Costello, Amy Leung ... Dustin E Schones
    Variably methylated retrotransposons have an underlying sequence that allows them to escape KAP1-mediated silencing and recruit ZF-CxxC proteins.

    Recurrent evolution of high virulence in isolated populations of a DNA virus

    Tom Hill, Robert L Unckless
    The same host–virus interactions can evolve multiple times in nature, due to the high effective mutation rate of viruses, and provide interesting systems of study.

    Sex-specific splicing occurs genome-wide during early Drosophila embryogenesis

    Mukulika Ray, Ashley Mae Conard ... Erica Larschan
    Combining computational and experimental approaches reveals that the loss of a maternal transcription factor influences sex-biased differential splicing in the early zygotic transcriptome at genes that are critical for normal developmental processes.

    Glycolytic flux-signaling controls mouse embryo mesoderm development

    Hidenobu Miyazawa, Marteinn T Snaebjornsson ... Alexander Aulehla
    The functional link between glycolytic flux, cell signalling and mesoderm patterning is investigated in mouse embryo.

    'Palaeoshellomics’ reveals the use of freshwater mother-of-pearl in prehistory

    Jorune Sakalauskaite, Søren H Andersen ... Beatrice Demarchi
    Ancient proteomes from tiny shell ornaments were successfully characterised for the first time, showing the unexpected use of mother-of-pearl from local riverine molluscs in both coastal and inland prehistoric sites.

    Rhodopsin targeted transcriptional silencing by DNA-binding

    Salvatore Botta, Elena Marrocco ... Enrico Maria Surace
    Photoreceptor genomic binding of a 20 base-pair-long DNA sequence by a synthetic DNA-binding protein turns off Rhodopsin expression.

    Amoeboid-like migration ensures correct horizontal cell layer formation in the developing vertebrate retina

    Rana Amini, Archit Bhatnagar ... Caren Norden
    Horizontal cell undergoes amoeboid-like migration in the developing vertebrate retina, a not previously reported migration mode in the central nervous system, that allows them to move within a densely packed tissue without predetermined paths.

    Parallel global profiling of plant TOR dynamics reveals a conserved role for LARP1 in translation

    M Regina Scarpin, Samuel Leiboff, Jacob O Brunkard
    Plants and humans use a shared mechanism, the eukaryotic metabolic sensor TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN protein kinase and its substrate, an RNA-binding protein called LARP1, to coordinate post-transcriptional gene expression.

    The m6A reader YTHDF2 is a negative regulator for dendrite development and maintenance of retinal ganglion cells

    Fugui Niu, Peng Han ... Sheng-Jian Ji
    The m6A reader YTHDF2 negatively regulates retinal ganglion cell dendrite branching through destabilizing its m6A-modified target mRNAs which control dendrite development and maintenance, and Ythdf2 conditional knockout in retina improves visual acuity and alleviates acute ocular hypertension-induced glaucoma in mice.
