    Allelic strengths of encephalopathy-associated UBA5 variants correlate between in vivo and in vitro assays

    Xueyang Pan, Albert N Alvarez ... Hugo J Bellen
    A comprehensive platform is established for the evaluation of both current and future individuals afflicted with the UBA5-associated developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

    Enterobacterales plasmid sharing amongst human bloodstream infections, livestock, wastewater, and waterway niches in Oxfordshire, UK

    William Matlock, Samuel Lipworth ... REHAB Consortium
    A geographically and temporally restricted genomic surveillance study concludes that Enterobacterales plasmid dissemination between human and non-human niches might be occurring at greater rates than previously estimated.

    Opposing chemosensory functions of closely related gustatory receptors

    Ji-Eun Ahn, Hubert Amrein
    Live imaging and taste behavior analyses show that related members of the Gr28 gene subfamily are expressed in largely non-overlapping sets of neurons and mediate opposing taste behaviors.

    A timeline of bacterial and archaeal diversification in the ocean

    Carolina A Martinez-Gutierrez, Josef C Uyeda, Frank O Aylward
    Phylogenomics reveals the timeline over which marine bacteria and archaea colonized the oceans and shows the geological context of their diversification.

    Down the Penrose stairs, or how selection for fewer recombination hotspots maintains their existence

    Zachary Baker, Molly Przeworski, Guy Sella
    Modeling the evolution of PRDM9 in light of recent results implicating the importance of PRDM9 binding symmetry suggests the advantage of new PRMD9 alleles is in limiting the number of binding sites used effectively rather than increasing net binding.

    Sustained store-operated calcium entry utilizing activated chromatin state leads to instability in iTregs

    Huiyun Lyu, Guohua Yuan ... Yan Shi
    Multidimensional study of signaling pathways and epigenomics investigates how TCR (T cell receptor) signaling and chromatin landscape interpaly and impact on Treg stability.

    Chromosome-specific maturation of the epigenome in the Drosophila male germline

    James T Anderson, Steven Henikoff, Kami Ahmad
    Chromatin profiling of Drosophila testes reveals activation of the transcriptional program of the germline, widespread changes in RNA polymerase progression, and the absence of chromosomal regulation across the X chromosome.

    SUMOylation of Bonus, the Drosophila homolog of Transcription Intermediary Factor 1, safeguards germline identity by recruiting repressive chromatin complexes to silence tissue-specific genes

    Baira Godneeva, Maria Ninova ... Alexei Aravin
    Bonus, the Drosophila TIF1 factor, functions as a repressor of tissue-specific genes in the germline, emphasizing an important function of SUMOylation in transcriptional regulation.

    Genomic stability of self-inactivating rabies

    Ernesto Ciabatti, Ana González-Rueda ... Marco Tripodi
    SiR does not revert to wild type when produced in high-TEVp cell lines, is non-toxic in vivo, maintains transsynaptic spreading capabilities and revertant mutations do not accumulate during in vivo experiments.

    Missense mutations in CRX homeodomain cause dominant retinopathies through two distinct mechanisms

    Yiqiao Zheng, Chi Sun ... Shiming Chen
    The integrated analysis of multi-omics and functional evidence both in vitro and in knock-in mouse models reveal novel gain-of-function pathogenic mechanisms of dominant CRX HD missense mutations.
