  text: How functional protein sequences are distributed in sequence space is fundamentally
    important for evolutionary theory and protein design, particularly if a large
    diversity of protein functions are hidden in evolutionarily unexplored areas of
    the sequence space. However, this question is understudied in part because experimental
    and computational studies use extant sequences as a starting point to study sequence
    space. Here, we study whether extant sequences are representative of the entire
    functional sequence space. Across thousands of protein families from vertebrates
    and bacteria we calculate the dimensionality and the volume of sequence space
    occupied by extant homologs. We find that the observed dimensionality and volume
    of extant sequence space are minuscule, many orders of magnitude smaller than
    what we estimated using a model of protein evolution. Simulating sequence evolution
    we then quantify the impact of phylogeny, selection, and epistasis on restricting
    the evolutionary exploration of sequence space. We find that sequence evolution
    from a single common ancestor, or a single point of origin in sequence space,
    is by far the largest limiting factor that reduces the dimensionality and volume
    of extant sequence space. These results indicate that there are vast areas of
    functional sequence space that have not been explored in evolution because of
    the excessive restrictions on natural exploration of the protein sequence space
    imposed by the point of origin effect. We suggest that protein design methods
    that rely on extant sequences may be limited in their ability to discover truly
    novel functions.

  text: 'Evolutionary games provide a flexible mathematical framework for many problems
    in biology and social evolution. Prisoners’ dilemma, and in particular, the important
    special case of donation games, represents social dilemmas where cooperation is
    mutually beneficial, yet defection is preferred by selfish agents. In evolutionary
    games on networks, the agents interact over a population structure. The existence
    of population structures that promote cooperative behavior is a fascinating and
    active research topic. Previous research establishes structures promoting cooperation
    in the limit of weak selection where the benefit-to-cost ratio β exceeds 1.5.
    The existence of such structures for medium and strong selection for 1 < ß < 2
    and for weak selection for 1 < ß < 1.5 has been a long-standing open question.
    First, we answer the open questions in the affirmative: For every selection strength
    and every ß > 1, we construct networks promoting cooperation. Second, we present
    a robustness result with respect to β and selection strength: Our structures promote
    cooperation for a range of these parameter values rather than specific parameter
    values. Finally, we supplement our theoretical results with simulation results
    on small population structures that show the effectiveness of our construction
    over well-studied population structures.'

  text: Many biological systems operate near the physical limits to their performance,
    suggesting that aspects of their behavior and underlying mechanisms could be derived
    from optimization principles. However, such principles have often been applied
    only in simplified models. Here, we explore a detailed mechanistic model of the
    gap gene network in the Drosophila embryo, optimizing its 50+ parameters to maximize
    the information that gene expression levels provide about nuclear positions. This
    optimization is conducted under realistic constraints, such as limits on the number
    of available molecules. Remarkably, the optimal networks we derive closely match
    the architecture and spatial gene expression profiles observed in the real organism.
    Our framework quantifies the tradeoffs involved in maximizing functional performance
    and allows for the exploration of alternative network configurations, addressing
    the question of which features are necessary and which are contingent. Our results
    suggest that multiple solutions to the optimization problem might exist across
    closely related organisms, offering insights into the evolution of gene regulatory
    networks.

  text: 'Biophysical constraints limit the specificity with which transcription factors
    (TFs) can target regulatory DNA. While individual nontarget binding events may
    be low affinity, the sheer number of such interactions could present a challenge
    for gene regulation by degrading its precision or possibly leading to an erroneous
    induction state. Chromatin can prevent nontarget binding by rendering DNA physically
    inaccessible to TFs, at the cost of energy-consuming remodeling orchestrated by
    pioneer factors (PFs). Under what conditions and by how much can chromatin reduce
    regulatory errors on a global scale? We use a theoretical approach to compare
    two scenarios for gene regulation: one that relies on TF binding to free DNA alone
    and one that uses a combination of TFs and chromatin-regulating PFs to achieve
    desired gene expression patterns. We find, first, that chromatin effectively silences
    groups of genes that should be simultaneously OFF, thereby allowing more accurate
    graded control of expression for the remaining ON genes. Second, chromatin buffers
    the deleterious consequences of nontarget binding as the number of OFF genes grows,
    permitting a substantial expansion in regulatory complexity. Third, chromatin-based
    regulation productively co-opts nontarget TF binding for ON genes in order to
    establish a “leaky” baseline expression level, which targeted activator or repressor
    binding subsequently up- or down-modulates. Thus, on a global scale, using chromatin
    simultaneously alleviates pressure for high specificity of regulatory interactions
    and enables an increase in genome size with minimal impact on global expression
    error.'

  text: Neuronal processing of external sensory input is shaped by internally generated
    top–down information. In the neocortex, top–down projections primarily target
    layer 1, which contains NDNF (neuron-derived neurotrophic factor)-expressing interneurons
    and the dendrites of pyramidal cells. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that
    NDNF interneurons shape cortical computations in an unconventional, layer-specific
    way, by exerting presynaptic inhibition on synapses in layer 1 while leaving synapses
    in deeper layers unaffected. We first confirm experimentally that in the auditory
    cortex, synapses from somatostatin-expressing (SOM) onto NDNF neurons are indeed
    modulated by ambient Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Shifting to a computational
    model, we then show that this mechanism introduces a distinct mutual inhibition
    motif between NDNF interneurons and the synaptic outputs of SOM interneurons.
    This motif can control inhibition in a layer-specific way and introduces competition
    between NDNF and SOM interneurons for dendritic inhibition onto pyramidal cells
    on different timescales. NDNF interneurons can thereby control cortical information
    flow by redistributing dendritic inhibition from fast to slow timescales and by
    gating different sources of dendritic inhibition.

  text: A key feature of biological and artificial neural networks is the progressive
    refinement of their neural representations with experience. In neuroscience, this
    fact has inspired several recent studies in sensory and motor systems. However,
    less is known about how higher associational cortical areas, such as the hippocampus,
    modify representations throughout the learning of complex tasks. Here, we focus
    on associative learning, a process that requires forming a connection between
    the representations of different variables for appropriate behavioral response.
    We trained rats in a space-context associative task and monitored hippocampal
    neural activity throughout the entire learning period, over several days. This
    allowed us to assess changes in the representations of context, movement direction,
    and position, as well as their relationship to behavior. We identified a hierarchical
    representational structure in the encoding of these three task variables that
    was preserved throughout learning. Nevertheless, we also observed changes at the
    lower levels of the hierarchy where context was encoded. These changes were local
    in neural activity space and restricted to physical positions where context identification
    was necessary for correct decision-making, supporting better context decoding
    and contextual code compression. Our results demonstrate that the hippocampal
    code not only accommodates hierarchical relationships between different variables
    but also enables efficient learning through minimal changes in neural activity
    space. Beyond the hippocampus, our work reveals a representation learning mechanism
    that might be implemented in other biological and artificial networks performing
    similar tasks.

  text: Quantum hardware is inherently fragile and noisy. We find that the accuracy
    of traditional quantum error correction algorithms can be improved depending on
    the hardware. Given different hardware specifications, we automatically synthesize
    hardware-optimal algorithms for parity correction, qubit resetting, and GHZ (Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger)
    state preparation. Using stochastic techniques from computer science, our method
    presents a computational tool to compute exact accuracy guarantees and synthesize
    optimal algorithms that are often different from traditional ones. We also show
    that improvements can be gained with respect to the Qiskit transpiler as we compute
    the hardware-optimal qubit mapping for the GHZ state-preparation problem.
acknowledgement: We thank the reviewers. In particular, they inspired us to analyze
  the reset and state-preparation problems, to compute optimal qubit mappings, and
  to apply our method to a quantum error correction scheme that includes both bitflip
  and phaseflip corrections. We also thank Raimundo Saona and Marek Chalupa for their
  time spent in insightful discussions. This research was partially supported by the
  European Research Council CoG 863818 (ForM-SMArt) grant.

  text: Active regulation of gene expression, orchestrated by complex interactions
    of activators and repressors at promoters, controls the fate of organisms. In
    contrast, basal expression at uninduced promoters is considered to be a dynamically
    inert mode of nonfunctional “promoter leakiness,” merely a byproduct of transcriptional
    regulation. Here, we investigate the basal expression mode of the mar operon,
    the main regulator of intrinsic multiple antibiotic resistance in Escherichia
    coli, and link its dynamic properties to the noncanonical, yet highly conserved
    start codon of marR across Enterobacteriaceae. Real-time, single-cell measurements
    across tens of generations reveal that basal expression consists of rare stochastic
    gene expression pulses, which maximize variability in wildtype and, surprisingly,
    transiently accelerate cellular elongation rates. Competition experiments show
    that basal expression confers fitness advantages to wildtype across several transitions
    between exponential and stationary growth by shortening lag times. The dynamically
    rich basal expression of the mar operon has likely been evolutionarily maintained
    for its role in growth homeostasis of Enterobacteria within the gut environment,
    thereby allowing other ancillary gene regulatory roles to evolve, e.g., control
    of costly-to-induce multidrug efflux pumps. Understanding the complex selection
    forces governing genetic systems involved in intrinsic multidrug resistance is
    crucial for effective public health measures.

  text: Differentially private gradient descent (DP-GD) is a popular algorithm to
    train deep learning models with provable guarantees on the privacy of the training
    data. In the last decade, the problem of understanding its performance cost with
    respect to standard GD has received remarkable attention from the research community,
    which formally derived upper bounds on the excess population risk  RP  in different
    learning settings. However, existing bounds typically degrade with over-parameterization,
    i.e., as the number of parameters  p  gets larger than the number of training
    samples  n  -- a regime which is ubiquitous in current deep-learning practice.
    As a result, the lack of theoretical insights leaves practitioners without clear
    guidance, leading some to reduce the effective number of trainable parameters
    to improve performance, while others use larger models to achieve better results
    through scale. In this work, we show that in the popular random features model
    with quadratic loss, for any sufficiently large  p , privacy can be obtained for
    free, i.e.,  |RP|=o(1) , not only when the privacy parameter  ε  has constant
    order, but also in the strongly private setting  ε=o(1) . This challenges the
    common wisdom that over-parameterization inherently hinders performance in private
    learning.

  text: Root system integrates multiple environmental cues, chiefly gravity and soil
    humidity, to anchor plants in soil and forage for water. While the mechanism of
    auxin-mediated root gravitropism is comparably well-understood, the root’s capability
    to grow toward moist soil for water uptake and drought avoidance, termed root
    hydrotropism, remains largely mysterious. Here, we provide key insights into the
    mechanism of hydrotropic growth and assign a role to the master regulator of hydrotropism,
    MIZU-KUSSEI 1 (MIZ1). We show that efficient hydrotropism requires the attenuation
    of antagonistically acting gravitropism, which is inhibited under drought conditions.
    Drought stress interferes with subcellular trafficking and the lateral mobility
    of PIN auxin transporters, which are polarly localized at the root cell plasma
    membranes. This leads to defects in PIN2 polarity and gravity-induced polarization
    of PIN3, ultimately inhibiting gravity-induced auxin redistribution and root bending.
    The miz1 mutant is defective in all these regulations, and in support of MIZ1’s
    action on PINs, pin mutations rescue the hydrotropic defects in the miz1 mutant.
    These observations identify a mechanism for how drought via MIZ1 attenuates gravitropism
    to promote root hydrotropism for efficient water foraging under drought conditions.

  text: Multiagent learning is challenging when agents face mixed-motivation interactions,
    where conflicts of interest arise as agents independently try to optimize their
    respective outcomes. Recent advancements in evolutionary game theory have identified
    a class of “zero-determinant” strategies, which confer an agent with significant
    unilateral control over outcomes in repeated games. Building on these insights,
    we present a comprehensive generalization of zero-determinant strategies to stochastic
    games, encompassing dynamic environments. We propose an algorithm that allows
    an agent to discover strategies enforcing predetermined linear (or approximately
    linear) payoff relationships. Of particular interest is the relationship in which
    both payoffs are equal, which serves as a proxy for fairness in symmetric games.
    We demonstrate that an agent can discover strategies enforcing such relationships
    through experience alone, without coordinating with an opponent. In finding and
    using such a strategy, an agent (“enforcer”) can incentivize optimal and equitable
    outcomes, circumventing potential exploitation. In particular, from the opponent’s
    viewpoint, the enforcer transforms a mixed-motivation problem into a cooperative
    problem, paving the way for more collaboration and fairness in multiagent systems.

  text: Cell and tissue movement in development, cancer invasion, and immune response
    relies on chemical or mechanical guidance cues. In many systems, this behavior
    is locally directed by self-generated signaling gradients rather than long-range,
    prepatterned cues. However, how heterogeneous mixtures of cells interact nonreciprocally
    and navigate through self-generated gradients remains largely unexplored. Here,
    we introduce a theoretical framework for the self-organized chemotaxis of heterogeneous
    cell populations. We find that the relative chemotactic sensitivities of different
    cell populations control their long-time coupling and comigration dynamics, with
    boundary conditions such as external cell and attractant reservoirs substantially
    influencing the migration patterns. Our model predicts an optimal parameter regime
    that enables robust and colocalized migration. We test our theoretical predictions
    with in vitro experiments demonstrating the comigration of distinct immune cell
    populations, and quantitatively reproduce observed migration patterns under wild-type
    and perturbed conditions. Interestingly, immune cell comigration occurs close
    to the predicted optimal regime. Finally, we incorporate mechanical interactions
    into our framework, revealing a nontrivial interplay between chemotactic and mechanical
    nonreciprocity in driving collective migration. Together, our findings suggest
    that self-generated chemotaxis is a robust strategy for the navigation of mixed
    cell populations.

  text: The glassy thermal conductivities observed in crystalline inorganic perovskites
    such as Cs3Bi2I6Cl3 are perplexing and lacking theoretical explanations. Here,
    we ﬁrst experimentally measure its thermal transport behavior from 20 to 300 K,
    after synthesizing Cs3Bi2I6Cl3 single crystals. Using path-integral molecular
    dynamics simulations driven by machine learning potentials, we reveal that Cs3Bi2I6Cl3
    has large lattice distortions at low temperatures, which may be related to the
    large atomic size mismatch. Employing the Wigner formulation of thermal transport,
    we reproduce theexperimental thermal conductivities based on lattice-distorted
    structures. This studythus provides a framework for predicting and understanding
    glassy thermal transportin materials with strong lattice disorder.

  text: Cells must coordinate DNA segregation with cytokinesis to ensure that each
    daughter cell inherits a complete genome. Here, we explore how DNA segregation
    and division are mechanistically coupled in archaeal relatives of eukaryotes,
    which lack Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/Cyclins. Using live cell imaging, we
    first describe the series of sequential changes in DNA organization that accompany
    cell division in Sulfolobus, which computational modeling shows likely aid genome
    segregation. Through a perturbation analysis we identify a regulatory checkpoint
    which ensures that the compaction of the genome into two spatially segregated
    nucleoids only occurs once cells have assembled a division ring—which also defines
    the axis of DNA segregation. Finally, we show that DNA compaction and segregation
    depend, in part, on a ParA homologue, SegA, and its partner SegB, whose absence
    leads to bridging DNA. Taken together, these data show how regulatory checkpoints
    like those operating in eukaryotes aid high-fidelity division in an archaeon.

  text: Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to environmental changes,
    with root gravitropism playing a pivotal role in nutrient and water acquisition.
    Our study reveals that SnRK2 kinases (SnRK2.2 and SnRK2.3) are critical regulators
    of root gravitropism through their direct phosphorylation of the auxin transporter
    PIN2 at S259. We demonstrate that SnRK2s-mediated phosphorylation modulates both
    the polar localization and transport activity of PIN2. Importantly, SnRK2s function
    antagonistically to the AGCVIII kinase PID, which phosphorylates PIN2 at a distinct
    site (S258), establishing a regulatory balance essential for adaptive root growth.
    Structural modeling and phosphorylation assays further suggest that SnRK2s-mediated
    phosphorylation at S259 sterically hinders access of PID to S258, providing a
    mechanistic basis for their antagonistic relationship. These findings uncover
    a novel regulatory mechanism, by which plants fine-tune root developmental programs
    to adapt to environmental stimuli, highlighting the evolutionary significance
    of multilayered kinase-mediated regulation in plant adaptation.

  text: Gravitropism, the patterning of postembryonic growth in relation to the gravity
    vector, allows plants to optimize the use of limited and nonhomogenous resources
    in their immediate environment. Since the current model of root gravitropism has
    not been able to integrate all aspects of the response (perception, response,
    and behavior), research on gravitropism has been dominated by different theories
    attempting to conceptualize each aspect individually. In this work, we sought
    to reevaluate all the main components of the root graviresponse through the lens
    of angle dependence. We show angle dependence in Cholodny–Went-based auxin asymmetry
    and growth response, which we tracked back to angle-dependent variation in PIN
    asymmetry and statolith sedimentation in the columella. Thanks to this approach,
    we were able to suggest distinct roles for PINs and columella cell tiers, and
    a potential function for auxin vertical flux through the columella. Our findings
    provide a unifying framework to further explore the mechanisms that regulate angle-dependent
    gravitropic response, with major implications of time-dependent features of root
    graviresponse.

  text: Qualitative and quantitative orbital properties such as bonding/antibonding
    character, localization, and orbital energies are critical to how chemists understand
    reactivity, catalysis, and excited-state behavior. Despite this, representations
    of orbitals in deep learning models have been very underdeveloped relative to
    representations of molecular geometries and Hamiltonians. Here, we apply state-of-the-art
    equivariant deep learning architectures to the task of assigning global labels
    to orbitals, namely energies characterizations, given the molecular coefficients
    from Hartree–Fock or density functional theory. The architecture we have developed,
    the Cartesian Equivariant Orbital Network (CEONET), shows how molecular orbital
    coefficients are readily featurized as equivariant node features common to all
    graph-based machine-learned potentials. We find that CEONET performs well at predicting
    difficult quantitative labels such as the orbital energy and orbital entropy.
    Furthermore, we find that the CEONET representation provides an intuitive latent
    space for differentiating orbital character for the qualitative assignment of
    e.g. bonding or antibonding character. In addition to providing a useful representation
    for further integrating deep learning with electronic structure theory, we expect
    CEONET to be useful for automatizing and interpreting the results of advanced
    electronic structure methods such as complete active space self-consistent field
    theory. In particular, the ability of CEONET to infer multireference character
    via the orbital entropy paves the way toward the machine-learned selection of
    active spaces.

  text: Acoustic levitation provides a unique method for manipulating small particles
    as it completely evades effects from gravity, container walls, or physical handling.
    These advantages make it a tantalizing platform for studying complex phenomena
    in many-particle systems. In most standing-wave traps, however, particles interact
    via acoustic scattering forces that cause them to merge into a single dense object.
    Here, we introduce a complementary approach that combines acoustic levitation
    with electrostatic charging to assemble, adapt, and activate complex, separated
    many-particle systems. The key idea is to superimpose electrostatic repulsion
    on the intrinsic acoustic attraction, rendering a so-called “mermaid” potential
    where interactions are attractive at short range and repulsive at long range.
    By controlling the attraction–repulsion balance, we can levitate expanded structures
    where all particles are separated, collapsed structures where they are in contact,
    and hybrid ones consisting of both expanded and collapsed components. We find
    that collapsed and expanded structures are inherently stable, whereas hybrid ones
    exhibit transient stability governed by acoustically unstable dimers. Furthermore,
    we show how electrostatics allow us to adapt between configurations on the fly,
    either by quasistatic discharge or discrete up/down charge steps. Finally, we
    demonstrate how large structures experience selective energy pumping from the
    acoustic field—thrusting some particles into motion while others remain stationary—leading
    to complex dynamics including coupled rotations and oscillations. Our approach
    establishes a design space beyond acoustic collapse, offering possibilities to
    study many-particle systems with complex interactions, while suggesting pathways
    toward scalable integration into materials processing and other applications.

  text: The tropical climate variability is characterized by various oscillations
    across a range of timescales. Oscillations that imprint the tropical mean state
    are generally attributed to slow processes, such as the seasonal cycle or interannual
    variability. Here, we identify a pronounced tropics-wide intraseasonal oscillation
    (TWISO) in satellite observations and reanalyses. This oscillation, with a period
    of 30 to 60 d, is evident across multiple variables and involves interactions
    between convection, radiation, surface fluxes, and large-scale circulation. It
    is primarily manifested as convective perturbations in the tropical Indo-Pacific
    warm pool accompanied by oscillations in the large-scale tropical overturning
    circulation. Here, we examine the relationship between TWISO, the Madden–Julian
    Oscillation (MJO), and the instability of radiative-convective equilibrium. Certain
    phases of TWISO coincide with specific phases of the MJO, suggesting a potential
    connection between the two. However, although the MJO can amplify the oscillation
    amplitude of TWISO, it is not essential for TWISO to occur. Finally, due to its
    broad manifestation across the tropics, TWISO potentially exerts widespread influence
    on tropical weather and climate at regional scales.

  text: Entire chromosomes are typically only transmitted vertically from one generation
    to the next. The horizontal transfer of such chromosomes has long been considered
    improbable, yet gained recent support in several pathogenic fungi where it may
    affect the fitness or host specificity. To date, it is unknown how these transfers
    occur, how common they are and whether they can occur between different species.
    In this study, we show multiple independent instances of horizontal transfers
    of the same accessory chromosome between two distinct strains of the asexual entomopathogenic
    fungus<jats:italic>Metarhizium robertsii</jats:italic>during experimental co-infection
    of its insect host, the Argentine ant. Notably, only the one chromosome – but
    no other – was transferred from the donor to the recipient strain. The recipient
    strain, now harboring the accessory chromosome, exhibited a competitive advantage
    under certain host conditions. By phylogenetic analysis we further demonstrate
    that the same accessory chromosome was horizontally transferred in a natural environment
    between<jats:italic>M. robertsii</jats:italic>and another congeneric insect pathogen,<jats:italic>M.
    guizhouense</jats:italic>. Hence horizontal chromosome transfer is not limited
    to the observed frequent events within species during experimental infections
    but also occurs naturally across species. The transferred accessory chromosome
    contains genes that might be involved in its preferential horizontal transfer,
    encoding putative histones and histone-modifying enzymes, but also putative virulence
    factors that may support its establishment. Our study reveals that both intra-
    and interspecies horizontal transfer of entire chromosomes is more frequent than
    previously assumed, likely representing a not uncommon mechanism for gene exchange.</jats:p><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance
    Statement</jats:title><jats:p>The enormous success of bacterial pathogens has
    been attributed to their ability to exchange genetic material between one another.
    Similarly, in eukaryotes, horizontal transfer of genetic material allowed the
    spread of virulence factors across species. The horizontal transfer of whole chromosomes
    could be an important pathway for such exchange of genetic material, but little
    is known about the origin of transferable chromosomes and how frequently they
    are exchanged. Here, we show that the transfer of accessory chromosomes - chromosomes
    that are non-essential but may provide fitness benefits - is common during fungal
    co-infections and is even possible between distant pathogenic species, highlighting
    the importance of horizontal gene transfer via chromosome transfer also for the
    evolution and function of eukaryotic pathogens.
