The paper updates the pixy software to compute unbiased population-genomic summary statistics from all-sites VCFs, supporting new estimators, ploidy, multiallelic sites, and optimizations.

The paper shows that intrinsic transcription termination via RNA hairpins functions efficiently in the thermophile Thermus aquaticus at high temperatures, with RNA polymerase promoting hairpin formation.

This study identifies a conserved molecular toolkit in Trichomonas species acquired through lateral gene transfer, enabling interaction with microbiota and potentially influencing host inflammation.
