   Recurrent evolution of high virulence in isolated populations of a DNA virus

   Tom Hill, Robert L Unckless

   The same host–virus interactions can evolve multiple times in nature, due to the high effective mutation rate of viruses, and provide interesting systems of study.

   Homology-guided identification of a conserved motif linking the antiviral functions of IFITM3 to its oligomeric state

   Kazi Rahman et al.

   A disease-associated polymorphism in a related protein that regulates neurotransmitter release reveals that antiviral protein IFITM3 forms oligomers to rigidify membranes and inhibit virus fusion with cells.

    The birth of a bacterial tRNA gene by large-scale, tandem duplication events

    Gökçe B Ayan et al.

    A bacterial tRNA gene set rapidly evolves, compensating the loss of one tRNA type by large duplication events that increase the gene copy number of a second, different tRNA type.
