A unified framework for cell lineage statistics enables quantification of fitness landscapes and selection strength for any cellular lineage traits in a model-independent manner, and reveals the contributions of growth heterogeneity to population growth in diverse experimental model systems.

Fully assembled DNA methylomes from phylogeographically diverse clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates reveals 'intercellular mosaic methylation' as a source of epigenetic diversity.

Maternally deposited Piwi-piRNA complexes co-transcriptionally repress transposable elements that transiently become active in somatic cells of the developing Drosophila embryo.

Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that paternal obesity influences sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation enrichment and placenta gene expression, which in turn negatively impact its development and function in a manner that may contribute to metabolic disease in offspring.

An integrated empirical paradigm tracing immune strategies, underlying mechanisms and infection outcomes across reservoir host-pathogen systems, their specific ecological contexts, life-history features, and coevolutionary dynamics can reveal the actual patterns and processes underlying spillover in the wild.

Taste cell renewal begins at birth and is promoted by sonic hedgehog that alters the expression of regulators of cell migration and adhesion that may allow entry of new cells into buds.

In wild baboons, a female's adverse early experiences can influence her offspring's survival years after the original adversity was experienced.

Genetic knockout of the histone demethylase Kdm6a in the mouse germ line leads to elevated cancer incidence in genetically wild type offspring.

The bee gut microbiota contributes to the metabolism of the cyanogenic glycoside amygdalin.

Mitochondrial quality control in the germline is mediated by regulators of both programmed cell death and the aging program.
