A lexicon to help scientists and philosophers discuss the meaning of function in molecular biology more clearly is proposed.

Selective sweepstakes from pervasive positive selection, rather than demographic changes or random sweepstakes reproduction, is the primary determinant of reproductive skew and genetic diversity in the highly prolific Atlantic cod.

The comparison of three ciliate species that share complex pathways for natural genome editing allows capture of intermediate states in the acquisition of scrambled genes and elucidating a pathway for the origin and evolution of extremely rearranged chromosomes.

Melainabacteria, a candidate phylum related to Cyanobacteria, has been identified in gut and sediment samples by genomic analysis.

Large-scale screens and computational approaches reveal phenotypes for 3492 genes and gene-ontology predictions for 783 genes, including hitherto unstudied genes, which provides a potent platform to further dissect protein function.

Genomics researchers have built a Facebook game that allows members of the public to join the effort to understand a disease that has killed millions of ash trees across Europe.

Transcriptomic analyses of Malabar grouper show pathways known to be involved in metamorphosis are also upregulated at an early stage of larval development, suggesting an additional function during early development.

Unveiling the intricate web of interactions between G4 structures and pathogenicity islands in 89 bacterial genomes significantly advances our understanding of bacterial virulence mechanisms.

Euryhaline green algae utilise intracellular osmoprotectant modulation and specialised redox enzyme networks to successfully inhabit a desert coastline.
