This paper introduces a maximum-likelihood framework to estimate gene expression noise from scRNA-seq data, accounting for technical noise and cell type heterogeneity, and demonstrates its reproducibility using yeast data.

The paper demonstrates how plasmid communities in yeast cells can become units of selection through packaging and segregation, leading to reliable heredity and an evolutionary transition in individuality.

The paper uses RNA-seq to analyze 14 WS mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, revealing genotype-specific transcriptional responses and highlighting the polygenic nature of the WS phenotype.

The paper describes the acquisition of mobile genetic elements by Pseudomonas fluorescens through jumbo phage-mediated transduction, revealing new insights into horizontal gene transfer mechanisms.

The paper models ribosome reinitiation on circularized mRNAs, showing it explains length-dependent translation and various translation features.
