Emergent Collective Behavior Evolves More Rapidly Than Individual Behavior Among Ant Species

The paper compares evolutionary rates of collective and individual behavior in ants, finding faster and more varied evolution in collective behavior.

An immunohistochemical atlas of necroptotic pathway expression

The paper develops automated immunohistochemistry protocols to detect necroptotic pathway proteins in mouse and human tissues, revealing heterogeneity and disease-related changes in expression.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae encodes multiple phase-variable DNA methyltransferases that comprise distinct phasevarions

This study identifies multiple phase-variable DNA methyltransferases in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, showing their role in regulating phasevarions and pathogenic traits.

Targeted capture and sequencing of Orientia tsutsugamushi genomes from chiggers and humans

The paper develops a targeted sequencing method to study Orientia tsutsugamushi genomes in chiggers and humans, revealing phylogeographic clustering patterns.

Viral genome wide association study identifies novel hepatitis C virus polymorphisms associated with sofosbuvir treatment failure

This study identifies three HCV polymorphisms in NS2 and NS3 proteins associated with sofosbuvir treatment failure using whole genome sequencing of 507 patients.

Targeted metagenomic sequencing enhances the identification of pathogens associated with acute infection.

Castanet, a targeted metagenomic sequencing method, improves pathogen detection in clinical samples by combining sensitivity with cost-effectiveness and broad organism coverage.
