    Determining the genetic basis of anthracycline-cardiotoxicity by molecular response QTL mapping in induced cardiomyocytes

    David A Knowles, Courtney K Burrows ... Yoav Gilad
    Genetic variants that modulate transcriptomic response to doxorubicin in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are predictive of cardiac damage and in vivo sensitivity to anthracycline cardiotoxicity.

    Dissection of the in vitro developmental program of Hammondia hammondi reveals a link between stress sensitivity and life cycle flexibility in Toxoplasma gondii

    Sarah L Sokol, Abby S Primack ... Jon P Boyle
    A derived stress response trait may have contributed to the emergence of a globally dominant and promiscuous parasite.

    Transmission genetics of drug-resistant hepatitis C virus

    Nicholas van Buuren, Timothy L Tellinghuisen ... Karla Kirkegaard
    Interactions between viral genomes within the same cells can impact the selection of drug-resistant variants and this has been finessed by hepatitis C virus.

    An incoherent feedforward loop facilitates adaptive tuning of gene expression

    Jungeui Hong, Nathan Brandt ... David Gresham
    The architecture of a gene regulatory network determines the effect of evolutionary changes in transcription factor binding.

    Modulation of Prdm9-controlled meiotic chromosome asynapsis overrides hybrid sterility in mice

    Sona Gregorova, Vaclav Gergelits ... Jiri Forejt
    Prdm9-generated meiotic asynapsis of homologous chromosomes in mouse subspecific hybrids causes hybrid sterility and can be reversed by introducing random stretches of consubspecific sequence (≥ 27Mb) on four chromosomes most sensitive to asynapsis.

    Normal mitochondrial function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become dependent on inefficient splicing

    Marina Rudan, Peter Bou Dib ... Anita Kriško
    Removal of mitochondrial introns (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from their host genes leads to detrimental increase in their transcript levels.

    Evidence for loss and reacquisition of alcoholic fermentation in a fructophilic yeast lineage

    Carla Gonçalves, Jennifer H Wisecaver ... Paula Gonçalves
    Comparative genomics coupled with genetic and biochemical studies show that central carbon metabolism in fungi can be remodeled by genes originating from bacteria.

    Codon usage biases co-evolve with transcription termination machinery to suppress premature cleavage and polyadenylation

    Zhipeng Zhou, Yunkun Dang ... Yi Liu
    Genetic and bioinformatic analyses uncover an unexpected role for codon usage biases in regulating gene expression at the transcriptional level by suppressing premature transcription termination.

    The genome of the Hi5 germ cell line from Trichoplusia ni, an agricultural pest and novel model for small RNA biology

    Yu Fu, Yujing Yang ... Phillip D Zamore
    The genome sequence of Trichoplusia ni enables the use of this widespread lepidopteran pest as a model for both the study of small RNA pathways and insecticide resistance.

    Efficient termination of nuclear lncRNA transcription promotes mitochondrial genome maintenance

    Dorine Jeanne Mariëtte du Mee, Maxim Ivanov ... Sebastian Marquardt
    RNA Polymerase II transcriptional termination of a nuclear long non-coding RNA is required to maintain the mitochondrial genome and hence promotes budding yeast growth.
