Altered olfactory function is a common symptom of COVID-19, but its etiology is unknown. A
key question is whether SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2) – the causal agent in COVID-19 – affects …

Aging and obesity induce ectopic adipocyte accumulation in bone marrow cavities. This
process is thought to impair osteogenic and hematopoietic regeneration. Here we specify the …

Mice use pheromones, compounds emitted and detected by members of the same species,
as cues to regulate social behaviours such as pup suckling, aggression and mating 1 . …

Mutations in whole organisms are powerful ways of interrogating gene function in a realistic
context. We describe a program, the Sanger Institute Mouse Genetics Project, that provides …

Potential predators emit uncharacterized chemosignals that warn receiving species of
danger. Neurons that sense these stimuli remain unknown. Here we show that detection and …

Recent reports suggest an association between COVID-19 and altered olfactory function.
Here we analyze bulk and single cell RNA-Seq datasets to identify cell types in the olfactory …

In comparison with the molecular genetics of melanogenesis in mammals, the regulation of
pigmentation in poikilothermic vertebrates is poorly understood. Mammals undergo …

What makes males and females behave differently? Although genetic master-regulators
commonly underlie physical differences, sexually dimorphic behavior is additionally influenced …

During social interactions, an individual's behavior is largely governed by the subset of
signals emitted by others. Discrimination of "self" from "other" regulates the territorial urine …

Females may display dramatically different behavior depending on their state of ovulation.
This is thought to occur through sex-specific hormones acting on behavioral centers in the …
