DNA hypomethylation in human tumor cells results in the activation of the LINE-1-derived RNA-binding protein L1TD1 and its interactions with LINE-1 transposons.

After their introduction to the Iberian peninsula, domestic cattle hybridised with mostly male wild aurochs for millennia until human actions likely ended this process about 4000 years ago.

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped thousands of expression quantitative trait loci in yeast, including a variant in GPA1 that influences gene expression, cell-cycle occupancy, and mating efficiency.

Transmissible tumors in Hydra can manipulate host phenotype by inducing the growth of supernumerary tentacles, enhancing host foraging efficiency and promoting tumor vertical transmission, akin to manipulative parasites.

SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

Dynamic fluid-structure coupling method simulated the feeding and respiration patterns of Quadrapyrgites, revealing the relationship between the ancient medusozoans and modern jellyfish.

Adaptation of domesticated maize and its wild relative teosinte has been facilitated by the geographically widespread exchange of beneficial alleles between them.
