TL;DR: The authors show that when bacteria adapt to one plasmid, they become generally permissive to plasmids carriage, and suggest that poor plasmID persistence can be caused by a high cost involving helicase–plasmid interactions that can be rapidly ameliorated.

TL;DR: As evolved plasmids were able to persist longer in multiple naïve hosts, acquisition of this transposon also expanded the plasmid's host range, which has important implications for the spread of antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: A number of similarities are identified between the two focal species, including strong evidence of selection in the blanched populations in the Mc1r region, and important differences between the species are found, suggesting different colonization times, different genetic architecture underlying the bl Blanched phenotype and different ages of the beneficial alleles.

TL;DR: It is suggested that surviving retinal neurons provide structural/molecular information to regenerating neurons, and that this patterning mechanism regulates factors such as Shh, which control neuronal number, retinal lamination, and RGC axon pathfinding during retinal regeneration.

TL;DR: It is shown that preprocessing data with SeqyClean first improves both de-novo genome assembly and genome mapping, and, according to the authors' tests, outperforms other available preprocessing tools.
