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 […]

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 […]
