  • Solid-state quantum emitters in the telecom C-band hold promise for quantum communication applications, but achieving high photon indistinguishability remains challenging. Here, the authors deterministically generate highly indistinguishable single photons in the telecom C-band from InAs/InAlGaAs quantum dots.

  • The assumption that light sources based on radiative cascades provide maximally polarization-entangled photons is not always correct. Here the authors show experimentally in cavity-embedded quantum dots that photon polarization correlates with its emission mode, impacting the degree of entanglement for emitted photon pairs.

  • Researchers have used artificial-intelligence models to create regulatory DNA sequences that drive gene expression in specific cell types. Such synthetic sequences could be used to target gene therapies to particular cell populations.

  • This study describes the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression; the results annotate candidate regulatory elements in diverse tissues and cell types, their candidate regulators, and the set of human traits for which they show genetic variant enrichment, providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease.

  • Dysfunction in dorsal striatum, a brain region important for reward and habits, is linked to opioid use disorder (OUD). Here, authors delineate diverse cell populations in human dorsal striatum, revealing altered inflammatory and DNA damage signaling in OUD.

  • Analysis of transcriptional and epigenomic changes in the hippocampus of a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease shows that immune function genes and regulatory regions are upregulated, whereas genes and regulatory regions involved in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory are downregulated; genetic variants associated with Alzheimer’s disease are only enriched in orthologues of upregulated immune regions, suggesting that dysregulation of immune processes may underlie Alzheimer’s disease predisposition.

  • The genome of the zebra finch — a songbird and a model for studying the vertebrate brain, behaviour and evolution — has been sequenced. Comparison with the chicken genome, the only other bird genome available, shows that genes that have neural function and are implicated in the cognitive processing of song have been evolving rapidly in the finch lineage. Moreover, vocal communication engages much of the transcriptome of the zebra finch brain.

  • A whole-genome alignment of 240 phylogenetically diverse species of eutherian mammal—including 131 previously uncharacterized species—from the Zoonomia Project provides data that support biological discovery, medical research and conservation.
