This study identifies two paralogous guanine deaminases in C. elegans that regulate purine homeostasis, with one acquired via horizontal gene transfer from bacteria.

The paper investigates the evolutionary and functional roles of translation initiation factor 2 (IF2) terminal extensions across bacteria, showing their role in stress response and adaptation.

The paper identifies a beneficial synonymous mutation in EF-Tu that increases mRNA and protein levels but shows fitness benefits dependent on genetic background.

The paper constructs a multilayer graph of biochemical reactions for translation, polymer biosynthesis, and metabolism in E. coli, revealing distinct modular structures and multimodal distributions.
