Kanako Koyanagi, Yuta Kotoku & Yuji Kishima find evidence of ancient introgression between currently geographically separated and evolutionarily divergent Oryza lineages, leaving detectable footprints across their modern genomes
Lindahl et al. find that amino acid synthesis capacity (prototrophy) in E. coli is maintained over evolutionary timescales by horizontal gene transfers, restoring functions lost by accumulation of detrimental mutations.
KrasiΔΌΕikova assembled a T2T genome of Trypanosoma congolense, comparing it with T. brucei to reveal shared and divergent architecture, and provided preliminary evidence for differing strategies for antigenic variation via a common antigen

Evseeva et al. sequenced a historic plant pathogen outbreak that swept across the island of Martinique, highlighting the role of horizontal transfer in shaping the ecological success of the emerging pathogen Ralstonia spp.
This episode features an interview with Professor Jennifer Doudna, who with Emmanuel Charpentier published the first demonstration of CRISPR-based genome editing.
