   Fast evolutionary turnover and overlapping variances of sex-biased gene expression patterns defy a simple binary sex classification of somatic tissues

   Chen Xie, Sven Künzel, Diethard Tautz

   Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

   Magnetotactic bacteria optimally navigate natural pore networks

   Alexander P Petroff, Julia Hernandez ... Nina Radchenko-Hannafin

   Diverse magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the local geomagnetic field and grain size to maximize their swimming speed through the pore space.

   Horizontally transferred cell-free chromatin particles function as autonomous ‘satellite genomes’ and vehicles for transposable elements within host cells

   Soumita Banerjee, Soniya Sanjay Shende ... Indraneel Mittra

   Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.

   The success of artificial selection for collective composition hinges on initial and target values

   Juhee Lee, Wenying Shou, Hye Jin Park

   Mathematical modeling uncovers how initial and target compositions limit microbial community selection, as inter-community selection clashes with intra-community selection like a rafter battling a waterfall.

   Ancient trans-species polymorphism at the Major Histocompatibility Complex in primates

   Alyssa Lyn Fortier, Jonathan K Pritchard

   Trans-species polymorphism at primate Major Histocompatibility Complex genes is old, especially in the 'classical' genes, while rapidly-evolving regions of each gene correspond with proteins' functional domains.

   The general version of Hamilton’s rule

   Matthijs van Veelen

   The flexibility of the general version of Hamilton's rule allows the rule to match the complexity of the model of social behaviour, or the complexity implied by the data.
