    Continuous lateral oscillations as a core mechanism for taxis in Drosophila larvae

    Antoine Wystrach, Konstantinos Lagogiannis, Barbara Webb
    Analysis of crawling Drosophila larva and agent based simulations suggest that an intrinsic rhythm rather than distinct actions underlie taxis behaviour, providing a core mechanism on which both sensory and memory pathways can converge.

    Automated structure refinement of macromolecular assemblies from cryo-EM maps using Rosetta

    Ray Yu-Ruei Wang, Yifan Song ... Frank DiMaio
    Extensive benchmarking reveals that errors made when manually building models into near-atomic-resolution cryoEM density may automatically be corrected using an improved Rosetta-based structure refinement method.

    A computational interactome and functional annotation for the human proteome

    José Ignacio Garzón, Lei Deng ... Barry Honig
    A machine-learning approach is used to predict 1.35 million interactions for 85% of the human proteome.

    A specific role for serotonin in overcoming effort cost

    Florent Meyniel, Guy M Goodwin ... Raphaël Gaillard
    A selective reuptake inhibitor shows a beneficial effect in healthy humans during an effort-benefit tradeoff task, mediated at the computational level by a specific alleviation of effort cost.

    Compact and highly active next-generation libraries for CRISPR-mediated gene repression and activation

    Max A Horlbeck, Luke A Gilbert ... Jonathan S Weissman
    Integrated modeling of sgRNA positioning, chromatin accessibility, and sequence features enables accurate prediction of effective target sites for CRISPR-mediated transcriptional modulation and design of highly active libraries for genome-scale genetic screens.

    Biomolecular interactions modulate macromolecular structure and dynamics in atomistic model of a bacterial cytoplasm

    Isseki Yu, Takaharu Mori ... Michael Feig
    Crowding and metabolites in a simulated cellular environment alter protein conformations, modulate interactions of functionally related proteins, and lead to significant dynamic heterogeneity.

    Origin of a folded repeat protein from an intrinsically disordered ancestor

    Hongbo Zhu, Edgardo Sepulveda ... Andrei N Lupas
    Minimal changes allow an ancestral, unfolded peptide to adopt a known fold by repetition, illuminating a possible path for the emergence of folded proteins at the origin of life.

    Inference of gene regulation functions from dynamic transcriptome data

    Patrick Hillenbrand, Kerstin C Maier ... Ulrich Gerland
    Quantitative analysis of time-dependent transcription data elucidates the signal processing within the genetic network that regulates transcriptional cell cycle oscillations in yeast.

    Human kinetochores are swivel joints that mediate microtubule attachments

    Chris A Smith, Andrew D McAinsh, Nigel J Burroughs
    The outer domain of the kinetochore can rotate (swivel) around the centromere, and this rather than intra-kinetochore stretching is coupled to anaphase onset.
