High germline mutation rates but not extreme population size outbreaks influence genetic diversity in crown-of-thorns sea stars

This study estimates the germline mutation rate in crown-of-thorns sea stars and finds it is higher than in other invertebrates, with low effective population size and weak population size effects on genetic diversity.

P2X1 selective antagonists block HIV-1 infection through inhibition of envelope conformation-dependent fusion

This paper shows P2X1 antagonists block HIV-1 infection by inhibiting envelope conformation-dependent fusion across multiple viral clades.
