Variants in NR6A1 cause a novel oculo vertebral renal syndrome

Colobomatous microphthalmia often lacks a genetic diagnosis despite its developmental complexity. Here, the authors show that rare variants in NR6A1 cause a syndromic form with eye, kidney, and vertebral defects, supported by zebrafish functional validation.

The origin and evolution of maize in the Southwestern United States

Maize originated in southern Mexico from domestication of the wild grass teosinte, and diffused throughout the Americas. Sequenced DNA from archaeological samples spanning 6,000 years, documents the diffusion route and reveals the genes that were specifically selected for climatic and cultural adaptation to the US Southwest.

Arctic Ocean virus communities and their seasonality, bipolarity, and prokaryotic associations

Based on bulk DNA time-series sequencing of the surface Arctic Ocean, Calayag et al. show that planktonic viruses are strongly seasonal in abundance and community composition, and are correlated strongly with their prokaryote hosts.

Antibiotic combinations that exploit heteroresistance to multiple drugs effectively control infection

Heteroresistance to multiple antibiotics is prevalent across carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates, but drug combinations that exploit multiple heteroresistance can be used to effectively treat multidrug-resistant infections.

The role of pangenomics in orphan crop improvement

A single reference genome is not enough to harness the full genetic variation of a species. Here, the authors review pangenomics principles, construction and applications for orphan crop improvement, and discuss the possible ways to support pangenomics-driven molecular breeding.

Effect of sequence depth and length in long-read assembly of the maize inbred NC358

Sequence depth and read length determine the quality of genome assembly. Here, the authors leverage a set of PacBio reads to develop guidelines for sequencing and assembly of complex plant genomes in order to allocate finite resources using maize as an example.

Trapped ion mobility spectrometry and PASEF enable in-depth lipidomics from minimal sample amounts

Trapped ion mobility (TIMS)-mass spectrometry with parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF) facilitates high-sensitivity proteomics experiments. Here, the authors expand TIMS and PASEF to small molecules and demonstrate fast and comprehensive lipidomics of low biological sample amounts.

Streptococcus agalactiae clones infecting humans were selected and fixed through the extensive use of tetracycline

Group B streptococci (GBS) started causing serious infections in newborn babies in the 1960s. Here, the authors show that the emergence of GBS diseases was associated with worldwide dissemination of a few clones that were resistant to tetracycline, an antibiotic that became widely used in the 1950s.
