In a new #ScienceReview, researchers investigate how sequencing-based lineage tracing can be used to explore how organisms initiate infection, how population bottlenecks develop, and how cells disseminate and evolve within the host. https://scim.ag/3YmwyYP
Quantifying host-microbe interactions with bacterial lineage tracing
Using genomic barcodes to trace bacterial lineages within a host reveals previously unobservable dynamics of infection, including the impact of infection bottlenecks, routes of bacterial dissemination...

A #ScienceAdvances study has found that the coelacanth—an evolutionarily ancient fish often nicknamed a living fossil—lacks 11 jaw muscles that researchers previously thought it had. https://scim.ag/4shX82H
Coelacanths illuminate deep-time evolution of cranial musculature in jawed vertebrates
Revised coelacanth cranial muscle anatomy reveals previously unknown evolutionary innovations and redefines gnathostome muscle evolution.
