This study shows that insecticide exposure increases glyphosate resistance in Ipomoea purpurea and weakens selection for glyphosate resistance.

The paper introduces Seq-o-Matic, an open-source automated in situ sequencer that reduces hands-on time and improves sequencing consistency across tissue sections.

This study quantifies foraging preferences of Bombus sylvarum queens, showing they initially rely on two plant species but expand their foraging range later in the season.

This paper introduces a model where neurons adjust synaptic strengths to minimize somato-dendritic mismatch, enabling network learning and reproducing experimental observations of plasticity.

This study examines how developmental constraints and selection for elongation shape neck morphology in birds and other archosaurs, showing that extreme neck elongation in crown birds results from increases in both cervical number and length.

This paper introduces a micromanipulation platform to extract viable cell clusters from hydrogel-embedded 3D spheroids without disrupting the parent structure.

The paper identifies cytoplasmic 5hmC in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, linking it to TET3 expression and RNA processing, with implications for triple-negative breast cancer.

The paper identifies FMNL1 as a factor required for completing mitochondrial division via actin filaments, downstream of Golgi-derived vesicles.

This paper develops a Bayesian framework for inferring mutational and epistatic fitness effects in microbial evolution using multi-feature birth-death models and applies it to Escherichia coli phylogenies.

This study investigates the evolutionary flexibility of influenza A virus splicing by testing mutations in SD and SA sites, finding that small changes can activate alternative splicing and produce viable variants with altered ion channel and M1 proteins.

This paper introduces a background correction method for Fourier ptychographic microscopy images that preserves specimen information and improves quantitative analysis.

This paper introduces a sample preparation workflow (SP3) that enables nanopore-based protein identification by decoupling proteolysis from interfering components, demonstrating its effectiveness with tryptic digests of myelin basic protein.

This study shows RNA directly interacts with BRAF to regulate MAPK signaling by facilitating RAF complex formation and MEK1/2 phosphorylation.

Micro-C-TALE provides a cost-effective method for high-resolution targeted chromatin interaction mapping with improved sensitivity and resolution compared to existing techniques.

The paper analyzes root gene regulatory networks in Arabidopsis thaliana to identify roles of defense hormones and secondary metabolites in disease-suppressive soil establishment.

This study compares in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial resistance evolution data to show that experimental data can predict in vivo resistance emergence.

This study uses genomic structural equation modelling to assess the genetic overlap between insomnia, depression, and anxiety, finding insomnia is the best-supported location of the genetic overlap.

The paper maps subgingival microbiome states in 1,355 adults, identifying divergent dysbiosis trajectories linked to periodontitis and host factors.

This paper presents a software package for dielectric continuum modeling of the calcium channel CalC6.3, showing Ca2+ preferential accumulation in its selectivity filter.

This paper uses convergent cross mapping to infer causal genetic interactions from cross-sectional transcriptomic data of aging human fibroblasts and validates these interactions experimentally.
