    No evidence for a trade-off between reproduction and survival in a meta-analysis across birds

    Lucy A Winder, Mirre JP Simons, Terry Burke
    Meta-analysis reveals there is no evidence that variation in clutch size in birds is driven by the reproduction–survival trade-off.

    Evolutionary rescue of spherical mreB deletion mutants of the rod-shape bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

    Paul Richard J Yulo, Nicolas Desprat ... Heather L Hendrickson
    Fitness defects arising from deletion of the gene encoding the bacterial equivalent of actin (mreB) are readily compensated by mutations affecting cell wall synthesis.

    The domesticated transposon protein L1TD1 associates with its ancestor L1 ORF1p to promote LINE-1 retrotransposition

    Gülnihal Kavaklioglu, Alexandra Podhornik ... Christian Seiser
    DNA hypomethylation in human tumor cells results in the activation of the LINE-1-derived RNA-binding protein L1TD1 and its interactions with LINE-1 transposons.

    The genomic legacy of aurochs hybridisation in ancient and modern Iberian cattle

    Torsten Günther, Jacob Chisausky ... Cristina Valdiosera
    After their introduction to the Iberian peninsula, domestic cattle hybridised with mostly male wild aurochs for millennia until human actions likely ended this process about 4000 years ago.
