TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a frequently used anesthetic can exert a protumorigenic effect on a human cancer cell line, and this may represent an important contributory factor to high recurrence rates observed after surgery.

Iain A. Perry,Szabolcs Hernadi,Luís Cunha,Stephen Short,Angela Marchbank,David J. Spurgeon,Pablo Orozco-terWengel,Peter Kille +7 more
TL;DR: A megabase genome assembly for Aporrectodea caliginosa is presented with transcriptomic and SNP-based evidence for acclimatisation and adaption to extreme weather conditions found at high altitude.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors test field and laboratory eDNA protocols (aqueous and sediment samples) in a range of semi-arid ecosystems in Namibia and successfully gathered eDNA data on a broad suite of organisms at multiple trophic levels (including algae, invertebrates and bacteria) but identified two key challenges to the implementation of eDNA methods in the region: 1) high turbidity requires a tailored sampling technique and 2) identification of taxa by EDNA methods is currently constrained by a lack of reference data.
