Bodo saltans virus defines the most abundant giant viruses in the ocean and highlights the genomic plasticity, rooted in evolutionary arms races, that gave rise to giant viruses.

Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence tools can be developed to accurately identify cell divisions during development and wound repair of epithelial tissue.

Hippocampal place cells modulate their firing rate during replay events to reflect the increases, or decreases, in firing rate experienced between contexts during behavior.

Single-neuron spikes in a network model of the turtle cortex trigger reliable, yet flexible sequences of activity through a sparse backbone of strong synaptic connections.

NusG enhances transcription elongation by stabilizing DNA base pairs immediately upstream of the RNA-DNA hybrid but does not measurably affect the nucleotide incorporation and the forward translocation by RNA polymerase.

The Platynereis startle circuit links polycystin-dependent hydrodynamic sensors to muscle and ciliary effector cells.

Collectively migrating cells control their stiffness by Fascin-dependent control of Myosin activity, and this migratory cell stiffness regulates Myosin activity and stiffness within the cellular substrate to ultimately promote migration.

An NMR-based structural study of sperm proteins reveals a novel protein packaging/dispersion system embedded in a coevolutionary arms race.

Newly discovered viruses in dead and dying farmed Chinook salmon are widely distributed in threatened wild Chinook and sockeye salmon populations.

A combination of genetics and biophysical approaches identifies an overlapping set of sequences that form non-canonical G-quadruplex structures in vitro and induce genomic instability in cells.
