    Viruses are a dominant driver of protein adaptation in mammals

    David Enard, Le Cai ... Dmitri A Petrov
    Viruses drive adaptation at the scale of the whole proteome and not only in antiviral proteins in mammalian hosts.

    Dynamic NF-κB and E2F interactions control the priority and timing of inflammatory signalling and cell proliferation

    John M Ankers, Raheela Awais ... Michael RH White
    Cell imaging and mathematical modelling show reciprocal cross-regulation between inflammatory signalling and cell cycle timing, which is mediated through functional interactions between NF-B and E2F proteins.

    Punctuated evolution and transitional hybrid network in an ancestral cell cycle of fungi

    Edgar M Medina, Jonathan J Turner ... Nicolas E Buchler
    Cell cycle network evolution in a fungal ancestor was punctuated by the arrival of a viral DNA-binding protein that was permanently incorporated into the regulatory network controlling cell cycle entry.

    Determination of ubiquitin fitness landscapes under different chemical stresses in a classroom setting

    David Mavor, Kyle Barlow ... James S Fraser
    Chemical perturbation-dependent deep mutational scanning data collected by a lab-based interdisciplinary graduate class resolves a paradox between the high evolution conservation and the high mutational tolerance of the protein ubiquitin.

    Quantitative perturbation-based analysis of gene expression predicts enhancer activity in early Drosophila embryo

    Rupinder Sayal, Jacqueline M Dresch ... David N Arnosti
    Mathematical modeling of mutagenesis data for a suite of enhancers uncovers new relationships between the binding sites of transcription factors that help in genome-wide prediction of enhancers.

    Neural correlations enable invariant coding and perception of natural stimuli in weakly electric fish

    Michael G Metzen, Volker Hofmann, Maurice J Chacron
    Neural circuits in weakly electric fish perform a set of computations to allow natural communication signals to be perceived independently of their context.

    Point of View: Biological causal links on physiological and evolutionary time scales

    Amit Karmon, Yitzhak Pilpel
    Increasing awareness that many causal links in biology might be bi-directional could overcome biases and improve scientific reasoning.

    Mixed-mode oscillations and population bursting in the pre-Bötzinger complex

    Bartholomew J Bacak, Taegyo Kim ... Ilya A Rybak
    Computational modeling reveals the mechanisms by which a diverse group of neurons in the brainstem generates rhythmic breathing in mammals.

    Noise modulation in retinoic acid signaling sharpens segmental boundaries of gene expression in the embryonic zebrafish hindbrain

    Julian Sosnik, Likun Zheng ... Thomas F Schilling
    Direct measurements of retinoic acid using fluorescence lifetime imaging reveal a new role for cellular retinoic acid binding proteins in noise attenuation that is critical to sharpen hindbrain rhombomere boundaries.
