Cohabitation Shapes Collective Decision-Making in Medaka Fish

This study shows that cohabitation in medaka fish promotes synchronized freezing behavior and consensus decisions during predator threats.

Host-encoded DNA methyltransferases modify the epigenome and host tropism of invading phages

The paper shows adapted phages share methylated motifs with their most recent host, indicating epigenetic changes influence host tropism.

Development of a Versatile System to Facilitate Targeted Knockout/Elimination Using CRISPR/Cas9 for Highly Duplicated Gene Families in Arabidopsis Sexual Reproduction

This study develops a CRISPR/Cas9 system for efficient knockout of highly duplicated genes in Arabidopsis, demonstrating its effectiveness in targeting multiple genes involved in sexual reproduction.

Rapid body colouration change in Oryzias celebensisas a social signal for intraspecific competition

This study examines how rapid body colouration changes in Oryzias celebensis relate to aggressive behavior during male-male competition, finding that blackened markings signal aggression and deter attacks.

Transcriptomic landscape of seedstick in Arabidopsis thaliana funiculus after fertilisation

This study performs transcriptomic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana funiculus in stk mutants to identify deregulated genes and processes involved in seed development.

The Chaperone NASP Contributes to De Novo Deposition of the Centromeric Histone Variant CENH3 in Arabidopsis Early Embryogenesis

This study identifies the role of NASP in de novo CENH3 deposition during Arabidopsis early embryogenesis and shows its species-specific interaction with CENH3.

HIV-Tocky system to visualize proviral expression dynamics

The paper introduces HIV-Tocky, a reporter system using a fluorescent Timer protein to visualize HIV-1 provirus expression dynamics and identifies two latent subsets of proviruses.

Comparative transcriptomics shows the evolutionary origin of acoustic fat bodies through a trade-off with skull muscles in toothed whales

This study uses comparative transcriptomics to show that acoustic fat bodies in toothed whales evolved from skull muscles through a trade-off involving fatty acid metabolism and tissue reorganization.

F-actin regulates polarized secretion of pollen tube attractants in Arabidopsis synergid cell.

This study shows F-actin is essential for polarized secretion of attractants in Arabidopsis synergid cells, affecting pollen tube guidance.

Comprehensive O-GlcNAc glycoproteomics on NOTCH1 EGF repeats implicated unique Lewis X epitopes in mammals

The paper identifies unique Lewis X epitopes on NOTCH1 EGF repeats through O-GlcNAc glycoproteomics, revealing structural diversity and fucosylation patterns in mammals.

Interleukin-19 alleviates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by attenuating antigen-presenting cell activation

This study shows IL-19 reduces experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inhibiting macrophage activation and Th17 cell expansion, suggesting potential therapeutic use in multiple sclerosis.

DNA methylation site loss for plasticity-led novel trait genetic fixation

The paper investigates how epigenetic regulation loss leads to genetic fixation of novel traits in medaka fish through methylation profiling and CRISPR/Cas9 deletion.

Functional analysis of the chromosomal passenger complex in Arabidopsis

This study identifies and characterizes a Borealin homolog in Arabidopsis, supporting the existence of a chromosome passenger complex in plants.
