    Chlamydomonas ARMC2/PF27 is an obligate cargo adapter for intraflagellar transport of radial spokes

    Karl F Lechtreck, Yi Liu ... Pinfen Yang
    The cargo adapter ARMC2 mediates the association of radial spoke complexes to IFT trains ensuring radial spoke import and assembly in Chlamydomonas flagella.

    ZAF, the first open source fully automated feeder for aquatic facilities

    Merlin Lange, AhmetCan Solak ... Loïc Alain Royer
    ZAF (Zebrafish Automated Feeder) is the first fully automated, easy to build, and open source fish feeder designed for small and medium sized labs of which there are an estimated 3250 in 100 countries working with Zebrafish alone today.

    Establishment of developmental gene silencing by ordered polycomb complex recruitment in early zebrafish embryos

    Graham JM Hickey, Candice L Wike ... Bradley R Cairns
    Zebrafish early embryos initially package their developmental genes and enhancers in 'active' chromatin that subsequently receives polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1)-mediated histone H2A ubiquitylation, which confers silencing/poising – prior to Aebp2-PRC2-guided H3K27me3 addition.

    Cavefish cope with environmental hypoxia by developing more erythrocytes and overexpression of hypoxia-inducible genes

    Corine M van der Weele, William R Jeffery
    Astyanax mexicanus cavefish cope with hypoxic environments by expanding embryonic hematopoietic domains, increasing the capacity for erythrocyte development, and constitutive overexpression of hypoxia-inducible genes.

    Autophagosomes fuse to phagosomes and facilitate the degradation of apoptotic cells in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Omar Peña-Ramos, Lucia Chiao ... Zheng Zhou
    The crosstalk between autophagy and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, two cellular clearance pathways, promotes the fusion of the double-membrane autophagosomes to the phagosomes and plays an important role in the degradation of engulfed apoptotic cells.

    insomniac links the development and function of a sleep-regulatory circuit

    Qiuling Li, Hyunsoo Jang ... Nicholas Stavropoulos
    Spatiotemporal manipulations of insomniac reveal that this gene regulates the birth and development of sleep-regulatory neurons, enabling their proper function in adulthood.

    Drosophila p53 isoforms have overlapping and distinct functions in germline genome integrity and oocyte quality control

    Ananya Chakravarti, Heshani N Thirimanne ... Brian R Calvi
    Drosophila p53 protein isoforms function during oogenesis to ensure the integrity of the transmitted genome, a function that is conserved to humans.
