Symbiosis is a fundamental characteristic of eukaryotic biology. Arthropods, including insects, often harbor maternally inherited endosymbiotic microbes, some of which have evolved the ability to selectively kill male hosts – a phenomenon known as ‘mal…

Beyond their degradative role, lysosomes help prepare Caenorhabditis elegans offspring for stress. In a recent study, Zhang et al. show that lysosomal activation induces somatic histone H3.3 production, which moves to the germline and is methylated at …

AlphaGenome, recently announced in a preprint by Avsec et al., is Google DeepMind’s powerful ‘Swiss army knife’ for predicting molecular effects from non-coding DNA. Remarkably, it does so with base-pair resolution while maintaining long-range context….

Mutational robustness, the ensemble of mechanisms that allow organisms to maintain a stable phenotype despite genetic mutations, affects adaptive evolution in several ways. Many models have attempted to explain how mutational robustness might evolve an…
