Piecing Together the Extracellular Puzzle

Large-scale screens to identify protein interactions typically underperform with eukaryotic extracellular proteins. In this issue, Özkan et al. report development of a high-throughput assay designed specifically for extracellular proteins that uncovers a wealth of new interactions among three protein superfamilies in Drosophila and sets the stage for more extensive screens.

Chromothripsis and Human Disease: Piecing Together the Shattering Process

The unprecedented resolution of high-throughput genomics has enabled the recent discovery of a phenomenon by which specific regions of the genome are shattered and then stitched together via a single devastating event, referred to as chromothripsis. Potential mechanisms governing this process are now emerging, with implications for our understanding of the role of genomic rearrangements in deve...

Cyanobacterial Evolution: Fresh Insight into Ancient Questions

The invention of oxygenic photosynthesis by cyanobacteria 2.4 billion years ago forever transformed Earth. This biogeochemical shift set into motion the evolution of subsequent microbial metabolisms and lifestyles. A new study provides a novel approach in piecing together evidence for how this evolutionary transition may have occurred.
