Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Rediscovering the lost: eDNA detection of freshwater decapods on Réunion Island
Freshwater ecosystems on tropical oceanic islands host unique biodiversity. On Réunion Island, freshwater decapod crustaceans are key indicators of ecosystem health, yet their distribution and conservation status remain poorly documented.

The European Catfish (Silurus glanis) as an Invasive Species – eDNA Detection Methods
The European or Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) is an opportunistic apex predator which is the largest freshwater fish species in Europe, making it a popular choice as an angler fish or biological control agent.

Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Comparative analysis of diet composition and gut parasite diversity in bar-headed geese and ruddy shelducks using environmental dna metabarcoding [PDF]
We comprehensively analyzed the dietary preferences and intestinal parasite diversity of two waterbirds, the Ruddy shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea) and the Bar-headed goose (Anser indicus), using environmental DNA metabarcoding with the 18S rDNA V9 (for ...

How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
