Comparative population genomics of manta rays has global implications for management

This study uses comparative population genomics to show that oceanic manta rays have higher genetic diversity and connectivity than reef manta rays, with implications for conservation management.

Cancer tolerance to chromosomal instability is driven by Stat1 inactivation in vivo

The paper identifies Stat1 inactivation as a mechanism by which aneuploid cancers evade immune surveillance in mice and humans.

Dispersal of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Davis Base, Antarctica: Combining population genetics and tracking data

This study combines genetic and tracking data to analyze the dispersal and genetic diversity of southern elephant seals at Davis Base, Antarctica, identifying their natal origins and foraging behaviors.

Ecological changes have driven biotic exchanges across the Indian Ocean

The paper analyzes ecological changes in the Indian Ocean to understand species exchanges across time, finding that ecological transformations, not physical routes, drove biotic exchanges.

Rapid and efficient generation of antigen-specific isogenic T cells from cryopreserved blood samples

This study demonstrates an efficient CRISPR/Cas9 protocol for modifying ex vivo human T cells without affecting viability or antigen-specific responses.

Managing human mediated range shifts: understanding spatial, temporal and genetic variation in marine non- native species

The paper investigates range shifts in marine non-native species using a combination of non-molecular surveys, genetic analysis, and environmental DNA metabarcoding to assess spatial and temporal variation.

Consistent marine biogeographic boundaries across the tree of life despite centuries of human impacts

The paper investigates marine biogeographic patterns across different domains of life using eDNA metabarcoding, finding consistent structures despite human impacts.

TGF-β induced CXCL13 in CD8+ T cells is associated with tertiary lymphoid structures in cancer

This study identifies CD8+ T cells as a new source of CXCL13, which contributes to tertiary lymphoid structure formation in tumors through TGF-β signaling.
