   The evolutionary plasticity of chromosome metabolism allows adaptation to constitutive DNA replication stress

   Marco Fumasoni, Andrew W Murray

   Evolutionary adaptation to a constitutive perturbation of DNA replication reveals that adaptive mutations in three conserved pathways interact to restore faithful chromosome replication and segregation.

   Comprehensive fitness maps of Hsp90 show widespread environmental dependence

   Julia M Flynn et al.

   Environmental conditions strongly impact the fitness effects of Hsp90, resulting in the selection of Hsp90 sequences in nature that are robust to a variety of stressful conditions.

   Homologue replacement in the import motor of the mitochondrial inner membrane of trypanosomes

   Corinne von Känel et al.

   Mitochondrial inner membrane translocation of presequence-containing proteins by the single bifunctional TIM complex of T. brucei requires an non-canonical J domain-containing protein.

   Resurrection of a global, metagenomically defined gokushovirus

   Paul C Kirchberger, Howard Ochman

   Isolation of a gokushovirus capable of lysogenizing enterobacteria challenges previous notions about the biology of the most prolific phages within the Microviridae and facilitates experimental study in a model organism.

    Mushroom body evolution demonstrates homology and divergence across Pancrustacea

    Nicholas James Strausfeld et al.

    Demonstrating extreme diversity across crustaceans while contrasting with evolutionary stability in insects, mushroom body homologues further underpin the unity of Pancrustacea and shed new light on arthropod brain evolution.
