CellBouncer, A Unified Toolkit for Single-Cell Demultiplexing and Ambient RNA Analysis, Reveals Hominid Mitochondrial Incompatibilities

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Nathan K Schaefer, Bryan J Pavlovic and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Pooled processing, in which cells from multiple sources are cultured or captured together, is an increasingly popular strategy for droplet-based single cell sequencing studies. This design allows efficient scaling of experiments, isolation of cell-intrinsic differences, and mitigation […]

Heterozygosity at a conserved candidate sex determination locus is associated with female development in the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi)

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Kip D Lacy, Jina Lee, Kathryn Rozen-Gagnon, Wei Wang, Thomas S Carroll and Daniel J C Kronauer | Summary: Sex determination is a developmental switch that triggers sex-specific developmental programs. This switch is flipped by the expression of genes that promote male- or female-specific development. Many lineages have evolved […]

Prophages as a source of antimicrobial resistance genes in the human microbiome

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J Roach, Susanna R Grigson and Robert A. Edwards | Summary: Prophages—viruses that integrate into bacterial genomes—are ubiquitous in the microbial realm. Prophages contribute significantly to horizontal gene transfer, including the potential spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, because they can collect host genes. Understanding […]

Heterocellular and homocellular electrically coupled networks of the thalamus and cortex revealed by focal photomapping

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Mitchell J. Vaughn, Kevin J. Bender and Julie S. Haas | Summary: Electrical synapses are present widely across the mammalian brain and are crucial components of active neural circuitry and connectomes. Identification of electrically coupled networks in living tissue has been limited by technical demands of multiplexed recordings, and […]

Neural Mechanisms Linking Global Maps to First-Person Perspectives

Kavli Affiliate: Douglas Nitz | Authors: Hin Wai Lui, Elizabeth R. Chrastil, Douglas A. Nitz and Jeffrey L. Krichmar | Summary: Humans and many animals possess the remarkable ability to navigate environments by seamlessly switching between first-person perspectives (FPP) and global map perspectives (GMP). However, the neural mechanisms that underlie this transformation remain poorly understood. […]

Effective Multiple Scattering Correction for Accurate Quantitative OCT

Kavli Affiliate: Xingde Li | Authors: Cheng-Yu Lee and Xingde Li | Summary: We present an effective approach to compensate for multiple scattering effects in Quantitative Optical Coherence Tomography (qOCT) imaging, with the goal of accurately extracting tissue attenuation coefficients, which is crucial for precise clinical diagnosis. In clinical practice, especially for intra-operative imaging, an […]
