The paper identifies SARS-CoV-2 T-cell epitope variants that reduce recognition by T-cells, highlighting the risk of immune evasion.

This study shows that Tsr3 establishes a hierarchy between Rio2 and Rio1 kinases during 40S ribosome assembly by preventing Rio2 rebinding and enabling Rio1 recruitment.

The paper determines the structure of an 80S-like ribosome assembly intermediate, revealing how Tsr1 and Dim1 coordinate to regulate Fap7 and enable quality control during ribosome maturation.

The paper develops a pipeline to track SARS-CoV-2 mutations in the Spike protein, identifying D614G as a rapidly spreading mutation with potential implications for transmission and immune evasion.

The paper identifies a novel SARS-CoV-2 sub-genomic RNA generated by homologous recombination involving the R203K/G204R variant in nucleocapsid, which may enhance viral adaptation and expression.
