    Transgenesis and web resources in quail

    Olivier Serralbo, David Salgado ... Christophe Marcelle
    Transfection of quail primordial germ cells considerably expands the possibilities of genome modifications in birds, elevating the quail to the rank of genetic laboratory animal models of reference.

    Acute disruption of the synaptic vesicle membrane protein synaptotagmin 1 using knockoff in mouse hippocampal neurons

    Jason D Vevea, Edwin R Chapman
    Knockoff is a tool for researchers who wish to acutely disrupt a membrane protein.

    Fibrillar Aβ triggers microglial proteome alterations and dysfunction in Alzheimer mouse models

    Laura Sebastian Monasor, Stephan A Müller ... Sabina Tahirovic
    APPPS1 microglia express disease-associated proteomic signatures of Alzheimer's disease earlier, compared to the APP-KI, and these differences correlate with the levels of fibrillar Aβ and impaired microglial phagocytic function.

    A big-data approach to understanding metabolic rate and response to obesity in laboratory mice

    June K Corrigan, Deepti Ramachandran ... Alexander S Banks
    The metabolic rate of mice is disproportionately affected by the site of experimentation, affecting the phenotypic interpretation of genetically modified strains.

    Transverse sinus injections drive robust whole-brain expression of transgenes

    Ali S Hamodi, Aude Martinez Sabino ... Michael C Crair
    A new viral injection method targets the transverse sinuses to achieve robust whole-brain delivery of single or multiple genes in multiple mammalian species early in development.

    ODELAM, rapid sequence-independent detection of drug resistance in isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Thurston Herricks, Magdalena Donczew ... John D Aitchison
    Time-lapse live cell imaging of single Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli growing into small colonies enables their rapid phenotypic characterization including anti-microbial resistance and heteroresistance in clinical isolates.

    A new protocol for single-cell RNA-seq reveals stochastic gene expression during lag phase in budding yeast

    Abbas Jariani, Lieselotte Vermeersch ... Kevin J Verstrepen
    A new high-throughput method for single-cell RNA-seq in yeast cells shows how stochastic expression of glucose-repressed genes contributes to cell-to-cell differences during adaptation to an environmental change.

    Enhancement of homology-directed repair with chromatin donor templates in cells

    Grisel Cruz-Becerra, James T Kadonaga
    Precise genome editing by homology-directed repair occurs more efficiently with a chromatin donor template than with a naked DNA donor template.

    The natverse, a versatile toolbox for combining and analysing neuroanatomical data

    Alexander Shakeel Bates, James D Manton ... Gregory SXE Jefferis
    Open source software enables neuroscientists to integrate single neuron or synaptic-resolution datasets from different imaging modalities to analyse morphology and connectivity at the scale of whole brains and connectomes.
