    Evolutionary adaptation of an HP1-protein chromodomain integrates chromatin and DNA sequence signals

    Lisa Baumgartner, Jonathan J Ipsaro ... Julius Brennecke
    Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.

    The neuron-specific IIS/FOXO transcriptome in aged animals reveals regulatory mechanisms of cognitive aging

    Yifei Weng, Shiyi Zhou ... Coleen T Murphy
    Neuron-specific sequencing of aged wild-type, daf-2, and daf-16;daf-2 mutants revealed transcriptomic changes with age, and in longevity mutants, putative neuroprotective genes are upregulated, which are required for prolonged cognitive functions.

    Discovering non-additive heritability using additive GWAS summary statistics

    Samuel Pattillo Smith, Gregory Darnell ... Lorin Crawford
    Computational analysis reveals that additive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies can provide evidence of non-additive heritability in complex traits.

    Copy number variation and population-specific immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish

    Yannick Schäfer, Katja Palitzsch ... Jaanus Suurväli
    As a result of frequent gene duplication and haplotypic variation, a family of immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish has thousands of gene copies that are population- or individual-specific.

    Base editing strategies to convert CAG to CAA diminish the disease-causing mutation in Huntington’s disease

    Doo Eun Choi, Jun Wan Shin ... Jong-Min Lee
    Uninterrupted CAG repeat length determines onset age in Huntington's disease, and therefore, base editing strategies to generate CAA interruption offer new therapeutic opportunities as they diminish the disease-causing mutation.

    SCC3 is an axial element essential for homologous chromosome pairing and synapsis

    Yangzi Zhao, Lijun Ren ... Zhukuan Cheng
    SCC3 not only functions as a member of cohesin complex but also participates in homologous pairing and synapsis during rice meiosis.
