The paper examines genetic diversity and connectivity between ecoregions, finding a divide between eastern and western regions with restricted gene flow in the west.

This study evaluates how accessibility modifications in zoo enclosures affect meerkat behavior, finding increased use of low areas and more frequent species-appropriate sentry behavior.

This study shows that FBL-mediated 2'-O-methylation of GLTs forms condensates that drive IgH synapsis and CSR in B cells.

The paper examines lifespan changes in neural temporal dynamics using resting-state MEG data, finding distinct trajectories for cortical intrinsic timescales and alpha oscillations.

This study compares how genomic and epigenomic relationships contribute to genotype-by-environment interaction in grapevine clones, finding that epigenomic factors capture more GEI variance than genomic factors.

This study shows PARP1-mediated PARylation of SPRTN limits its DNA-protein crosslink repair activity by reducing DNA binding and proteolytic function.

This study measures confidence through a decision-making task and finds it is a state influenced by environmental factors rather than a driver of behavior.

This paper introduces ACE, a method to create genomic chimeras by integrating large genomic segments from donor cells into a recipient genome, demonstrating its ability to generate stable chimeric organisms across species barriers.

This study uses microfluidics to show that pancreatic tumor spheroids of different sizes exhibit distinct mechanical behaviors, with larger spheroids showing core-shell heterogeneity.

The paper develops a proteomics-based machine learning workflow to identify cell-type-specific protein complexes in mouse embryonic stem cells, revealing 3,986 complexes and 1,388 unique interactions specific to mESC.

This study shows that head movements create a perceptual bias in the direction of a moving sound source, similar to visual motion illusions, revealing errors in integrating auditory and proprioceptive cues.

This study uses live imaging in zebrafish to show that hindbrain medulloblastoma cells spread more frequently than forebrain or midbrain tumors and that dasatinib reduces dissemination.

This study shows that vitamin B12, not iron, is the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean, with implications for community composition and function.

This paper investigates how electrostatic effects in the active site influence the potency of DBO inhibitors against OXA-48 variants using computational simulations.

The paper updates a toolkit for genetic studies in C. briggsae by identifying indel variants and mapping mutations to genes using high-throughput sequencing.

This paper introduces Braincodec, a deep encoder that improves sound transmission via cortical stimulation, achieving high-fidelity sound reconstruction and matching non-implanted mice in sound discrimination.

This paper introduces GEM-CM, a computational framework that couples reaction-diffusion models with genome-scale metabolic models to simulate Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and pyocyanin production in agar gels.

MitoDecode assesses mitochondrial stress types and severity from fluorescence images without segmentation, showing adaptability across cell types and stress conditions.

This study evaluates the precision of 13C metabolic flux analysis using different glucose tracers to estimate non-oxidative glycolysis fluxes in E. coli.

The paper investigates whether parasitoid body size and morphology diverge in response to host species differences in Neodiprion sawflies, supporting sequential divergence.
