Differentiation granules, a dynamic regulator of T. brucei development

The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei has been shown to form stress granules in vitro that might be repurposed to enable differentiation and facilitate parasite transmission. Here, Cayla et al. show that differentiation between slender and stumpy forms does involve membrane-less granules that are different from nutritional stress granules.

Asymmetric introgression reveals the genetic architecture of a plumage trait

Hybrid zones are windows into the evolutionary process. Semenov et al. find that the head plumage differences between white wagtail subspecies have a simple genetic basis involving two small genetic regions, in which partially dominant and epistatic interactions help to explain how this sexual signal has become decoupled from other plumage traits.

National quantifications of methane emissions from fuel exploitation using high resolution inversions of satellite observations

High-resolution satellite data enables a unique verification of national methane emissions worldwide. Global estimates are 63 Tg a⁻¹ for oil-gas, 30% higher than the UNFCCC reports due to under-reporting by four largest emitters, and 33 Tg a⁻¹ for coal, consistent with previous estimates.

The structure of a polygamous repressor reveals how phage-inducible chromosomal islands spread in nature

Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) encode the master repressor Stl and after bacteriophage infection Stl interacts with specific phage proteins leading to a derepression of SaPIs. Here the authors provide structural insights into this family of repressors by determining the crystal structures of SaPIbov1 Stl alone and in complex with two structurally unrelated phage dUTPases.
