New bean genome unveils potential to boost foodsecurity in drought-prone regions NatureComms
to develop genomic capabilities on the continent. Lastly, establishing international collaboration helped us to take advantage of existing expertise and already-developed pipelines for genome analyses. With over 20 years of plant genome sequencing, there is now a rich suite of tools, pipelines and protocols for plant genome analyses.
Our lablab genome assembly and collaboration provide a roadmap for improving agronomic, yield and nutritional traits in other African orphan crops. Given the Africa-centred and inclusive nature of our work, this could be used as a guide by individual labs and multinational genome consortia including the African Biogenome InitiativeMethodsseeds were germinated in a petri dish on filter papers moistened with tap water.

Structural basis for botulinum neurotoxin E recognition of synaptic vesicle protein 2 - Nature CommunicationsBotulinum neurotoxin E (BoNT/E) is a major cause of botulism and paradoxically also a drug in clinical trial. Here, the authors show that BoNT/E binding and uptake require glycosylation of its host receptor SV2 with high selectivity for SV2A and SV2B over SV2C.

Hidden chemical order in disordered Ba7Nb4MoO20 revealed by resonant X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR - Nature CommunicationsChemical order/disorder in materials can be difficult to determine for atoms with similar X-ray scattering factors and neutron scattering lengths. Here authors use resonant XRD and NMR to elucidate hidden Mo/Nb chemical order in disordered hexagonal perovskite Ba7Nb4MoO20, with Mo atoms found to be localized near the ion-conducting oxygen deficient layer.
