I told ChatGPT to ‘continue’ — it went too far
Credit: sorbetto/Getty I was trying to rescue a plan for a perspective article after two journals had declined it. My take-away was that my concept was not enough: the project needed evidence. I decided to use an artificial-intelligence tool to help with brainstorming. I study soil hydrology — how water moves through soils and landscapes, shaping erosion, plant growth and ecological recovery.
A telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of the fast-flowering mini-maize inbred line TX-40J
Abstract Flowering time and plant height are important target traits in maize genetic improvement. However, high-quality reference genomes for fast-flowering, short-cycle maize germplasms remain limited. Here, we integrated PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore ultra-long reads, Hi-C, and Illumina short-read sequencing data to assemble a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome for the fast-flowering maize inbred line TX-40J.
Fusobacterium nucleatum enhances enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis -mediated neuron loss and intestinal motility dysfunction
Abstract Gut dysmotility is a common long-term effect of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) colonization but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here, using mouse colonization models, we found that ETBF-secreted B. fragilis toxin (BFT) causes loss of colonic myenteric neurons, which are crucial regulators of intestinal motility. BFT induced apoptosis in these neurons through the NOD1–RIPK2–CASP9–CASP3 pathway, leading to gut dysmotility that persisted even after the clearance of ETBF.
