Direct survival benefits in larger groups rather than kin-selected indirect fitness primarily drive the evolution of division of labor in cooperatively breeding vertebrates, particularly under harsh environmental conditions.
Structural characterization of the CTLH-CRA domain-mediated pairing in the CTLH ubiquitin ligase complex enables rational engineering of interfaces with altered binding specificity.
Elucidation of the Hox code defining forelimb positioning provides novel insights into lateral plate mesoderm patterning and the integration of vertebrate column structure and limb positioning.

Exatrack is a framework for analyzing Brownian, directed, and confined motion using a hidden-variable probabilistic model to extract physical insight into particle diffusion.
Genomic neighborhood signatures delineate catalytic versus putative regulatory CODH clades, establishing a framework for predicting enzyme functionality and guiding discovery of biocatalysts for CO2 reduction.
Direct presynaptic patch-clamp recording and fluorescent imaging of the vesicular release demonstrate that a non-canonical cannabinoid receptor GPR55 deprives readily releasable vesicles of competency in cerebellar Purkinje cell axons.
Peptidoglycan recycling is essential for proper cell growth and intrinsic ampicillin resistance in Caulobacter crescentus, highlighting PG recycling enzymes as potential antibacterial targets.
