Translation Accuracy in E. coli

The paper quantifies amino acid substitution rates in E. coli, finding no significant differences in overall translation error rates among ribosomal variants but unique mistranslation profiles.

Evolution toward larger cell size reduces internal cellular density

This study shows that evolving larger cell size reduces internal cellular density, as material accumulation does not keep pace with volume increase, both in experimental evolution and across species.

Deciphering the genic basis of environmental adaptations by simultaneous forward and reverse genetics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The paper identifies 181 yeast genes absent from the reference genome and validates their role in environmental adaptations using reverse genetics and association mapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
