ExSeq enables multiplexed RNA mapping at nanoscale resolution by expanding biological specimens for in situ sequencing.

Multi-proxy evidence for the impact of the Storegga Slide Tsunami on the early Holocene landscapes of the southern North Sea

The paper identifies Storegga Slide tsunami deposits in the southern North Sea using seismic surveys, sediment cores, and dating methods, showing localized and temporary impacts.

The importance of neutral over niche processes in structuring Ediacaran early animal communities

This study uses spatial point process analysis to show that neutral processes, not niche processes, dominated the spatial distribution of Ediacaran animal communities.

Genomic determinants of sympatric speciation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex across evolutionary timescales.

This study identifies genomic factors driving sympatric speciation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex across evolutionary timescales, highlighting the role of phoR in virulence and adaptation.

Acetazolamide reduces exercise capacity following a five-day ascent to 4559 m on Monte Rosa

This study shows that acetazolamide reduces exercise capacity at high altitude, with greater effects in older individuals.
