Toxin-antidote systems are selfish genetic elements composed of a linked toxin and antidote. The toxin-antidote system in consists of a transmembrane toxin protein PEEL-1 which acts cell autonomously to kill cells. Here we investigate the molecular mechanism of PEEL-1 toxicity.

This success has spurred efforts to sequence non-canonical nucleic acid bases and amino acids. While canonical DNA and RNA bases have pKas far from neutral, certain non-canonical bases, natural RNA modifications, and amino acids are known to have pKas near neutral pHs at which nanopore sequencing is typically performed.

- The study describes numerous new species of fungi discovered across various environments, including leaf spots, dead insects, soil, and wood from diverse locations around the world.
- The fungi were isolated from multiple substrates, such as decaying organic matter, living plants, and even specific habitats like semi-desert montane areas and mixed forests.
- Morphological traits and genetic analysis through DNA barcoding confirm the classification and distinct characteristics of these fungal species.
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: , on whitefly, on bark of , from soil under , on leaf spot of , and on leaf spot of . , on fully submersed siliceous schist in high-mountain streams, and on the lower part and apothecial discs of on a twig. , on decaying wood, from moist soil with leaf litter, on a trunk of a living unknown hardwood tree species, and on dead twigs of unidentified plant.
