    Identification and comparison of orthologous cell types from primate embryoid bodies shows limits of marker gene transferability

    Jessica Jocher, Philipp Janssen ... Ines Hellmann
    Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.

    Fitness drivers of division of labor in vertebrates

    Irene García-Ruiz, Dustin R Rubenstein
    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.

    Separating selection from mutation in antibody language models

    Frederick A Matsen IV, Will Dumm ... Hugh K Haddox
    Factoring out nucleotide-level mutation biases from antibody language models dramatically improves prediction of functional mutation effects while reducing computational cost by orders of magnitude.

    Human genetic ancestry, Mycobacterium tuberculosis diversity, and tuberculosis disease severity in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Michaela Zwyer, Zhi Ming Xu ... Daniela Brites
    The severity of active tuberculosis in a high-burden population is not explained by host or pathogen genetic variation, suggesting a dominant role for social and environmental factors.

    Developmental, regenerative, and behavioral dynamics in acoel reproduction

    Vikram Chandra, Samantha Elizabeth Tseng ... Mansi Srivastava
    Studying the reproductive life history of an acoel reveals that a body-size-dependent program regulates organ growth and regeneration dynamics and discovers a novel form of egg-laying behavior.
