    Tuning movement for sensing in an uncertain world

    Chen Chen, Todd D Murphey, Malcolm A MacIver
    Animals work in a world full of surprises, where using energy to position sensors proportional to the location's expected information avoids the pitfalls of positioning them at the information maxima.

    Inherent regulatory asymmetry emanating from network architecture in a prevalent autoregulatory motif

    Md Zulfikar Ali, Vinuselvi Parisutham ... Robert C Brewster
    Network architecture and physiological features of the cell dictate asymmetric gene regulation between a negative autoregulatory TF gene and its target gene.

    Genetic mapping of etiologic brain cell types for obesity

    Pascal N Timshel, Jonatan J Thompson, Tune H Pers
    Unbiased computational integration of single-cell- and human genetics data shows that susceptibility to obesity is driven by a broad set of neuronal populations across the brain.

    Removing unwanted variation with CytofRUV to integrate multiple CyTOF datasets

    Marie Trussart, Charis E Teh ... Terence P Speed
    CytofRUV is a computational algorithm that effectively enables batch effect reduction in multiple CyTOF batches with an adaptable normalisation method and an R-Shiny application with diagnostics plots.

    Cell-cycle-gated feedback control mediates desensitization to interferon stimulation

    Anusorn Mudla, Yanfei Jiang ... Nan Hao
    Cell cycle gating enables a temporal compartmentalization of negative vs positive feedback control processes, leading to differential responses to repetitive interferon stimulations.

    Coverage-dependent bias creates the appearance of binary splicing in single cells

    Carlos F Buen Abad Najar, Nir Yosef, Liana F Lareau
    Sequencing and counting RNAs from single cells can create a misleading picture of alternative splicing if too many mRNAs are lost in the process.

    Social interactions drive efficient foraging and income equality in groups of fish

    Roy Harpaz, Elad Schneidman
    Analysis and modeling of group behavior of adult zebrafish shows that a specialized social interaction mechanism increases foraging efficiency and equality within groups, under a variety of environmental conditions.

    Shadow enhancers can suppress input transcription factor noise through distinct regulatory logic

    Rachel Waymack, Alvaro Fletcher ... Zeba Wunderlich
    Proper development depends on establishing precise gene expression patterns in spite of the inherent noise in transcription, shadow enhancers buffer this noise by binding distinct input transcription factors.

    Neural arbitration between social and individual learning systems

    Andreea Oliviana Diaconescu, Madeline Stecy ... Philippe N Tobler
    Arbitration is formalised as the relative precision of predictions afforded by reward and social learning systems and is represented in modality-specific dopaminergic and dopaminoceptive regions, including the midbrain and amygdala.

    Combining agent-based, trait-based and demographic approaches to model coral-community dynamics

    Bruno Sylvain Carturan, Jason Pither ... Lael Parrott
    A new agent-based model enables predicting how coral species richness and functional diversity affect the functioning and resilience of coral reef ecosystems.
