    A phenotype-based forward genetic screen identifies Dnajb6 as a sick sinus syndrome gene

    Yonghe Ding, Di Lang ... Xiaolei Xu
    Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.

    Contrasting effects of Ksr2, an obesity gene, on trabecular bone volume and bone marrow adiposity

    Gustavo A Gomez, Charles H Rundle ... Subburaman Mohan
    Obese Ksr2 mutant mice have increased trabecular bone but decreased marrow adiposity and are more prone to fractures, thus providing a useful model to understand how stem cells can be manipulated to produce bone at the expense of marrow fat.

    Condensin DC loads and spreads from recruitment sites to create loop-anchored TADs in C. elegans

    Jun Kim, David S Jimenez ... Sevinc Ercan
    Loading and linear translocation of condensin dosage compensation along the X-chromosomes create the loop-anchored topologically associating domains detected by Hi-C.

    Anopheles homing suppression drive candidates exhibit unexpected performance differences in simulations with spatial structure

    Samuel E Champer, Isabel K Kim ... Jackson Champer
    Continuous space models indicate that current homing suppression drives may have difficulty eliminating wild mosquito populations, but building a successful drive may still be possible with current tools.

    Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice

    Kengo Inada, Kazoku Tsujimoto ... Kazunari Miyamichi
    Conditional knockout mice revealed that oxytocin secretion from the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus suppresses hyperphagic obesity partly via the oxytocin receptor expressed in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus.
