    Local genetic context shapes the function of a gene regulatory network

    Anna Nagy-Staron, Kathrin Tomasek ... Calin C Guet
    The phenotype of a gene regulatory network depends both qualitatively and quantitatively on the local genetic context of its individual components and cannot necessarily be predicted solely from network's topology.

    Alzheimer’s Disease: Exploring the origins of nucleation

    Katarzyna Marta Zoltowska, Lucía Chávez-Gutiérrez
    An approach called deep mutational scanning is improving our understanding of amyloid beta aggregation.

    The genetic landscape for amyloid beta fibril nucleation accurately discriminates familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations

    Mireia Seuma, Andre J Faure ... Benedetta Bolognesi
    A massively parallel analysis of the effects of mutations on amyloid beta nucleation provide the first comprehensive atlas of how mutations alter the formation of amyloid fibrils.

    Sub-minute prediction of brain temperature based on sleep–wake state in the mouse

    Yaniv Sela, Marieke MB Hoekstra, Paul Franken
    The sleep–wake state sequence explains almost all of the variance in brain temperature in the mouse, and its detailed dynamics can be accurately predicted only using sleep–wake information.

    Repeated outbreaks drive the evolution of bacteriophage communication

    Hilje M Doekes, Glenn A Mulder, Rutger Hermsen
    Mathematical modelling suggests that the evolution of communication between bacterial viruses requires repeated outbreak events, and the model then predicts typical communication strategies.

    Identifying molecular features that are associated with biological function of intrinsically disordered protein regions

    Taraneh Zarin, Bob Strome ... Alan M Moses
    A statistical model systematically associates functions of intrinsically disordered regions with sequence-distributed molecular features such as charge, residue composition, or repeat content.

    shinyDepMap, a tool to identify targetable cancer genes and their functional connections from Cancer Dependency Map data

    Kenichi Shimada, John A Bachman ... Timothy J Mitchison
    shinyDepMap helps users explore the essentiality, selectivity, and function of the genes across hundreds of cancer cell lines and identify cancer drug targets.

    tRNA sequences can assemble into a replicator

    Alexandra Kühnlein, Simon A Lanzmich, Dieter Braun
    Rudimentary cross-catalytic replication can be established by double-hairpins of tRNA-like sequences, implying that replication and translation could have emerged along a common evolutionary trajectory.

    Emergence and propagation of epistasis in metabolic networks

    Sergey Kryazhimskiy
    Mutations that affect a metabolic network generically exhibit epistasis, which propagates to higher level phenotypes, such as fitness, carrying some information about the network’s topology.

    An integrative model of cardiometabolic traits identifies two types of metabolic syndrome

    Amit Frishberg, Inge van den Munckhof ... Irit Gat-Viks
    A novel type of metabolic syndrome, derived from computational modeling of phenotypic diversity in normal physiological settings, increases the risk of certain complex diseases.
