The SUN1-ALLAN complex serves as a nuclear envelope–spanning tether that coordinates the segregation of a bipartite microtubule organising center (MTOC) during the unusual mitosis of Plasmodium.

Resurrection of ancient forms of CD4 reveals how retroviruses have placed selective pressure on this gene in apes, acting to propagate infection-resistant alleles.

Time-lapse analyses of millions of antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli characterize the diverse single-cell dynamics of persister cells that depend on antibiotics, culture conditions, and pre-exposure history.

E3 ligases UBR5 and MARCHF7 restrict SARS-CoV-2 replications through targeting nsp16.

Rtf1 HMD is related to H2B ubiquitination and its downstream H3K4 methylation in both C. neoformans and C. deneoformans, thereby affecting its yeast-to-hypha transition and virulence.

Transcriptomic profiling of HERV elements at the loci level differentiates ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and their overlap, revealing distinct immuno-epigenetic landscapes.

Microbiome composition through the redundancy of oxalate-degrading bacteria, critically influence oxalate metabolism, explaining variable outcomes of Oxalobacter formigenes therapy and offers insights for improving probiotic selection and clinical trial strategies.

Transcriptional regulatory network models can aid in identifying candidate genes associated with the target phenotype in bacterial genome-wide association studies.

Immune memory B cells in people with cystic fibrosis contain bacteria-specific sequences that could be used to make new treatments for life-threatening infections.
