Dynamic regulation of H2A.Zub and H3K27me3 by ambient temperature in plant cell fate determination

The paper shows that low temperature restores developmental defects in PRC2 mutants by promoting H2A.Zub deposition at embryonic genes, compensating for H3K27me3 loss and silencing these genes for post-germination development.

Evolution of plant cell-type-specific cis-regulatory elements

The paper constructs a single-cell chromatin accessibility atlas in rice and compares it across grass species to study the evolution of cell-type-specific cis-regulatory elements.

Microbial diversity and community dynamics in an active, high CO2 subsurface rift ecosystem

The paper investigates microbial diversity and community dynamics in the Eger Rift subsurface, revealing a diverse archaeal population and evidence of anaerobic and acidophilic communities.

Anaerobic methane oxidizing archaea offset sediment methane concentrations in Arctic thermokarst lagoons

The paper examines methane cycling in Arctic thermokarst lagoons and finds that sulfate-driven anaerobic methane oxidation reduces sediment methane concentrations.

Protection against SARS-CoV-2 Beta Variant in mRNA-1273 Boosted Nonhuman Primates

mRNA-1273 boosted nonhuman primates show increased neutralizing antibody responses and protection against SARS-CoV-2 beta variant infection.

Antibodies with potent and broad neutralizing activity against antigenically diverse and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants

The paper identifies ultrapotent antibodies from convalescent donors that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants and reduce escape mutant generation.

High-Throughput, Single-Copy Sequencing Reveals SARS-CoV-2 Spike Variants Coincident with Mounting Humoral Immunity during Acute COVID-19

This study uses high-throughput single-copy sequencing to detect SARS-CoV-2 spike variants during acute COVID-19, revealing genetic adaptation coinciding with humoral immunity.

LEAFY is a pioneer transcription factor and licenses cell reprogramming to floral fate

This study identifies LEAFY as a pioneer transcription factor in plants that licenses cell reprogramming to floral fate by displacing histones and recruiting chromatin remodelers.

Florigen family chromatin recruitment, competition and target genes

The paper shows TFL1 and FT antagonistically regulate floral fate through chromatin recruitment and competition, with LFY as a key target gene.

A framework for the development of a global standardised marine taxon reference image database (SMarTaR-ID) to support image-based analyses

The paper proposes a framework for a standardized marine taxon reference image database to improve image-based biodiversity analysis and AI applications.

Towards Resolving and Redefining Amphipyrinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Noctuidae): a Massively Polyphyletic Taxon

This paper redefines Amphipyrinae as a polyphyletic group using molecular phylogenetics, transferring several genera to other subfamilies and proposing nomenclatural changes.

Anaerobic methanotrophic communities thrive in deep submarine permafrost

This study identifies anaerobic methanotrophic communities in submarine permafrost and estimates their methane consumption rates, suggesting active AOM in thawing permafrost.
