    Heterogeneous absorption of antimicrobial peptide LL37 in Escherichia coli cells enhances population survivability

    Mehdi Snoussi, John Paul Talledo ... Sattar Taheri-Araghi
    A rapid absorption and retention of antimicrobial peptides by dead Escherichia coli cells can increase the survivability of the cell population in a "cooperative" fashion.

    On the limits of fitting complex models of population history to f-statistics

    Robert Maier, Pavel Flegontov ... David Reich
    Many published findings about population history that rely on inference of admixture graph models fitted to f-statistics are not robust since the method is generally inappropriate for extracting new information about population history.

    Visualization and functional dissection of coaxial paired SpoIIIE channels across the sporulation septum

    Jae Yen Shin, Javier Lopez-Garrido ... Kit Pogliano
    SpoIIIE forms a protein channel that spans the two lipid bilayers of the septum and mediates chromosome translocation and reversible membrane fission during Bacilus subtilis sporulation.

    Population receptive fields in nonhuman primates from whole-brain fMRI and large-scale neurophysiology in visual cortex

    P Christiaan Klink, Xing Chen ... Pieter R Roelfsema
    Within-species comparison of population receptive fields determined with fMRI and electrophysiology in nonhuman primates reveals the neuronal basis of blood-oxygen-level-dependent-based retinotopy.

    Rapid adaptation to malaria facilitated by admixture in the human population of Cabo Verde

    Iman Hamid, Katharine L Korunes ... Amy Goldberg
    Admixture-mediated adaptation to malaria in a human population demonstrates that detectible signatures in genomic patterns of ancestry can be leveraged to better characterize recent selection in populations with mixed ancestry.

    Native American genetic ancestry and pigmentation allele contributions to skin color in a Caribbean population

    Khai C Ang, Victor A Canfield ... Keith C Cheng
    Analysis of 458 Kalinago provides new insights into the population's genetic structure, the contribution of Native American ancestry to skin pigmentation, and the identification of a coding variant in OCA2 with an estimated –8 melanin units effect size.

    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.

    Asymmetric localization of the cell division machinery during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

    Kanika Khanna, Javier Lopez-Garrido ... Elizabeth Villa
    During sporulation, FtsAZ filaments mediating cell division in Bacillus subtilis are positioned asymmetrically around the septum only on the mother cell side, making the septum thinner than during vegetative growth.

    Decoding locomotion from population neural activity in moving C. elegans

    Kelsey M Hallinen, Ross Dempsey ... Andrew M Leifer
    Neurons in the brain exhibit activity with various relations to locomotion and these signals are best decoded by combining activities from many neurons.

    Environmental heterogeneity can tip the population genetics of range expansions

    Matti Gralka, Oskar Hallatschek
    Environmental heterogeneity can dramatically reduce the efficacy of selection and alter the neutral evolutionary dynamics in microbial range expansions.
