Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy demonstrates fast dynamics of the variant surface glycoprotein coat on living trypanosomes

The paper uses single-molecule tracking to show that VSG coat dynamics on trypanosomes are primarily diffusive with a high diffusion coefficient, resolving how the parasite maintains its coat.

Recapitulating evolutionary divergence in a single regulatory element causes expression changes of the lens gene Tdrd7

The paper investigates how mutations in a regulatory element upstream of Tdrd7 affect lens development by replacing the mouse sequence with the blind mole rat sequence in mice.
