Dietary choice per se is sufficient to modulate aging in Drosophila and through serotonergic control of peripheral metabolism.

Making choices about food affects the metabolism and lifespan of fruit flies.

Cellular stress in a disease-relevant cell type uncovers novel genetic effects on gene expression, which is likely relevant for disease.

Interbacterial interactions can promote mutagenesis, and possibly adaptation, when intoxicated cells survive exposure to type VI secretion-delivered DNA deaminase toxins.

BisMapR reveals strand-specific R-loops with high resolution at small-scale genomic features including bidirectionally transcribed promoters and enhancers.

The toxins that some bacteria secrete to kill off rival species can also generate mutations that help toxin-resistant populations adapt to new environments.

Knocking out Folliculin (FLCN) in human renal epithelial cells activates STAT1/2-mediated gene expression, independent of interferon, uncovering a tissue-specific process potentially relevant in the cancer syndrome Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD).

Hypothetical battles between animals can be used to interest the general public in biology.

Across urate, IGF-1, and testosterone, thousands of dispersed variants contribute to heritability, while previously characterized core pathways are highly enriched for associations and reveal feedback mechanisms governing serum biomarker levels.

snpc-1.3 specifies male piRNA transcription and is regulated by the sex determination pathway.
