   Neolithic and medieval virus genomes reveal complex evolution of hepatitis B

   Ben Krause-Kyora et al.

   Ancient hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes were reconstructed from up to 7000-year-old Stone Age human skeletons, suggesting a long-time complex co-evolution with human populations.

   Synergy in anti-malarial pre-erythrocytic and transmission-blocking antibodies is achieved by reducing parasite density

   Ellie Sherrard-Smith et al.

   Combining pre-erythrocytic and transmission blocking antibodies enhances the overall control and potential elimination of malaria within both mosquito and vertebrate populations.

   Antibiotic-induced changes in the microbiota disrupt redox dynamics in the gut

   Aspen T Reese et al.

   Disturbing the microbiota with antibiotics alters gut redox state via changes in electron acceptor availability, setting the stage for post-antibiotic succession.

   Social interaction-induced activation of RNA splicing in the amygdala of microbiome-deficient mice

   Roman M Stilling et al.

   Social-interaction impairment in germ-free mice is associated with a markedly altered transcriptional response to social novelty in the amygdala, as characterised by replacement of upregulation of common stimulus-induced pathways with upregulation of the splicing machinery.

   The plant-specific transcription factors CBP60g and SARD1 are targeted by a Verticillium secretory protein VdSCP41 to modulate immunity

   Jun Qin et al.

   Genetic and biochemical analyses reveal a virulence mechanism employed by V. dahliae that involves inhibition of the transcription factor activity of CBP60g and SARD1.

   Distinct chromatin functional states correlate with HIV latency reactivation in infected primary CD4⁺ T cells

   Emilie Battivelli et al.

   Analysis of HIV integration sites from induced and non-induced latently infected populations reveals the role of genomic localization and chromatin context in the fate of HIV-1 infection and the reversal of viral latency.
