Nature Communications, Published online: 27 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14855-3In vivo reprogramming of reactive glia using transfection of a single transcription factor has been described before by these authors and applied to models of neurodegeneration. Here the authors use this procedure in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease, targeting astrocytes in the striatum, converting them to GABAergic neurons.
Nature Communications, Published online: 27 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14852-6Palm oil biofuels are touted as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Meijide and colleagues use greenhouse gas measurements to update life cycle assessments of oil palm growth scenarios and show that despite the promise, emission savings do not meet sustainability standards.

Nature Communications, Published online: 27 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14897-7Interaural timing and level differences had been considered the two important cues for horizontal sound localization. Here, the authors show that the third cue, spectral information, plays an essential role in the encoding of the azimuthal auditory map in the mouse superior colliculus.
Nature Communications, Published online: 27 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14791-2GWAS analysis currently relies mostly on linear mixed models, which do not account for linkage disequilibrium (LD) between tested variants. Here, Sesia et al. propose KnockoffZoom, a non-parametric statistical method for the simultaneous discovery and fine-mapping of causal variants, assuming only that LD is described by hidden Markov models (HMMs).

Nature Communications, Published online: 27 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14951-4Gram-negative bacteria deliver effectors via the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to outcompete their rivals. Here, Fridman et al. present an approach to identify T6SS effectors encoded in bacterial genomes without prior knowledge of their domain content or genetic neighbourhood, and identify a new family of membrane-disrupting effectors.
