DNA sequencing of the yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) genome reveals convergent genomic changes, biochemical pathways, mutations, and substrate-binding orientations responsible for caffeine biosynthesis when compared to coffee and tea plants.

High-throughput animal tracking and quantitative behaviour analysis detects diverse phenotypes in genetic disease models at a scale that makes drug screens possible.

A novel statistical framework and approach using sibling phenotype pairs allows inference of genetic architecture in the tails of complex traits to be made without genetic data.

tRNA Q34 modification impacts tyrosine codon decoding and leads to proteome reprogramming in response to antibiotic stress in Vibrio cholerae.

A single amino acid change in a neuronal ion channel called KCNQ2 blocks ion flow, prevents protein localization on axons, and results in severe epilepsy and slowed neurological development.
