A genome analysis of Xenoturbella bocki provides insights into the biology of this enigmatic marine worm and enhances our understanding of early bilaterian evolution.

Across primates, volumes of specific brain regions relate to specific socio-ecological factors, bridging the gap between neuro-cognitive operations from laboratory studies and challenges primates face in their natural environment.

By reducing the reflection of ultraviolet light, hollow nanoparticles called brochosomes help to protect leafhoppers from predators.

Long-lived tropical trees in Southeast Asia accumulate somatic mutations in a manner that is dependent on time, rather than growth rate.

An integrative approach is used to identify a mechanism by which the fitness effects of Y chromosomes can manifest via trans effects on autosomal genes, through their effects on male courtship and other sexually selected traits.

Monosomy in yeast results in numerous gene dosage insufficiencies with potentially lethal collective effect, but strong positive epistasis rooted in the modular structure of cell metabolism cancels it.

An interdisciplinary research platform reveals that the transcriptional identity of metazoan male germ cells is built around a small network of deeply conserved gene interactions with an overarching functional impact.
