Nature Insights Quantitative genetics

This Insight highlights progress in teasing apart
complex traits, or determining the relative contributions
of genetics and environment in organisms. Genetics has
always been a field where studies in one organism are
crucial to discovery in another, and we hope that this
collection of reviews inspires crosstalk between
specialists as well as enticing new interest in the field.

Brain metabolism dictates the polarity of astrocyte control over
arterioles pp745-749
Calcium signalling in glial cells couples neuronal activity to
regional changes in cerebral blood flow, but the polarity of its
effect on the diameter of neighbouring arterioles has remained
controversial. This paper reveals that when the glycolytic state of
the brain is enhanced by lower tissue oxygenation, glia-mediated
vasoconstrictions convert to vasodilations.

Antigenic variation in Giardia lamblia is regulated by RNA
interference pp750-754
Antigenic variation is a process by which pathogens switch surface
antigen expression during infection to escape immune recognition.
Giardia lamblia, a major cause of parasitic diarrhoea, is now shown to
regulate antigenic variation by RNA interference.

Negative feedback that improves information transmission in yeast
signalling pp755-761
In the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pheromone response pathway, the MAP
kinase Fus3 mediates the rapid negative feedback that adjusts the
dose-response of the downstream system response to match that of
receptor-ligand binding. This 'dose-response alignment' improves the
fidelity of information transmission. Negative feedback could be used
as a general mechanism in signalling systems to align dose-responses.

The replisome uses mRNA as a primer after colliding with RNA
polymerase pp762-766
Head-on collision between the replication and transcription
machineries halts DNA synthesis. This work examines what happens when
a replisome bumps up against an engaged RNA polymerase. The study
finds that the RNA polymerase is displaced from the DNA, but the
replisome and the nascent mRNA remain attached. A replication assembly
factor, the beta-clamp, finds the 3prime end of the mRNA and recruits
the still-bound replisome, which exploits the mRNA as a primer to
reinitiate DNA synthesis.

Strong water absorption in the dayside emission spectrum of the planet
HD 189733b pp767-769
Indications of the presence of water in the atmosphere of the planet
HD 189733b have recently been found in transmission spectra. This
paper reports the detection of strong water absorption in a high
signal-to-noise, mid-infrared emission spectrum of the planet itself.
The differences between these and previous observations are
significant and admit the possibility that predicted planetary-scale
dynamical weather structures might alter the emission spectrum over
time.

Strong ocean tidal flow and heating on moons of the outer planets pp770-772
There is support for the idea that there are liquid oceans on several
moons of the outer planets, with Jupiter's moon Europa having received
the most attention. But it is unclear how these oceans remain liquid.
This paper describes strong tidal dissipation (and heating) in the
liquid oceans of such moons, and shows that a previously unconsidered
tidal force due to obliquity has the right form and frequency to
resonantly excite large-amplitude Rossby waves.

A solid-state light-matter interface at the single-photon level pp773-777
To realize scalable quantum information networks, it will be important
to develop techniques for storage and retrieval of light at the single
photon level. Quantum interfaces between light and matter have been
demonstrated, but mainly with atomic gases that involve sophisticated
schemes to trap the atoms. This paper demonstrates a potentially more
practical approach; coherent and reversible mapping of a light field
with less than one photon per pulse onto an ensemble of ~107 atoms
naturally trapped in a solid state medium. The state of the light is
mapped onto collective atomic excitations on an optical transition
and stored for a pre-programmed time up of to one microsecond before
being retrieved again.

Enantiodivergent conversion of chiral secondary alcohols into tertiary
alcohols pp778-782
A new method to convert secondary alcohols in their single mirror
image form into tertiary alcohols has been developed. Starting from a
single enantiomer of the secondary alcohol, either mirror image form
of the tertiary alcohol can be made with very high levels of
stereocontrol. A broad range of tertiary alcohols can now be easily
made by this method with very high levels of selectivity.

Strain accommodation by slow slip and dyking in a youthful continental
rift, East Africa pp783-787
Continental rifts initiate and develop through repeated episodes of
faulting and magmatism, yet strain partitioning between faulting and
magmatism during discrete rifting episodes remains poorly documented.
It is shown that most of the strain during the July-August 2007
seismic crisis in the Natron rift, Tanzania, was released
aseismically. This event provides evidence for strain accommodation
by magma intrusion, in addition to slip along normal faults, during
the initial stages of continental rifting, and before significant
crustal thinning.

Major gradients in putatively nitrifying and non-nitrifying Archaea in

Crenarchaeota, which comprise the most abundant clade of organisms on
Earth, are believed to be responsible for the majority of ammonia
oxidation in terrestrial and marine environments. But recent studies
have suggested that not all species are autotrophic. Using a
comprehensive dataset, it is now shown that a significant proportion
of marine crenarchaeota lack the genes required for ammonia oxidation,
suggesting that they are heterotrophs.

Strong effect of dispersal network structure on ecological dynamics pp792-794
How the interactions between predators and prey affect the overall
dynamics of ecosystems is a central question of ecology. This paper
shows that by focusing on ecologically relevant interactions, that
is, smaller systems in which interactions are strong, it is possible
to simulate ecosystems that favour asynchrony of predator and prey
cycles, with prolonged transient dynamics, just as ecologists observe
in nature.

Coordinate control of synaptic-layer specificity and rhodopsins in

Brain development requires the coordinated differentiation and wiring

transcription regulators, which orchestrate the coordinated synthesis
of specific photosensitive pigments and axon guidance molecules in a
subset of Drosophila photoreceptor neurons.

Temporal identity in axonal target layer recognition pp800-803
Growing neuronal processes such as axons and dendrites must reach and
stop within specific target areas in the developing brain. But most
cell surface molecules critical for such targeting are too broadly
expressed to allow for regional specificity. It is now shown that
distinct axons stop in different Cadherin-N expressing layers on the
basis of when and how long they express the transcription factor
sequoia.

A role for VEGF as a negative regulator of pericyte function and
vessel maturation pp809-813
VEGF is an important angiogenic factor that has been implicated in
tumourigenesis. Two papers now show that the function of VEGF is far
more complex, as VEGF can negatively regulate angiogenesis and limit
tumourigenesis. This study found that VEGF can inhibit angiogenesis
by impeding the function of the PDGF receptor on pericytes, leading
to a loss of pericyte coverage of blood vessels. This involves the
formation of heterodimers between the receptors for VEGF and PDGF.

Deletion of vascular endothelial growth factor in myeloid cells

VEGF is an important angiogenic factor that has been implicated in

more complex, as VEGF can negatively regulate angiogenesis and limit
tumourigenesis. In the second paper, VEGF production was deleted in
myeloid cells, but not other cell types. Unexpectedly, more rapid
tumour development in these mice was found at the same time as
attenuated tumour vascularization and the formation of morphologically
and functionally normalized blood vessels. In contrast, tumours
lacking VEGF altogether grew more slowly.

DNA double-strand breaks activate a multi-functional genetic program
in developing lymphocytes pp819-823
As part of the response to exogenous DNA damage, the transcription of
certain genes involved in cell cycle checkpoints and survival is
affected; these changes help the cell to maintain its genomic
integrity. There are also situations in which endogenous,
physiological DNA double-strand breaks occur. This paper shows that
the breaks which initiate the rearrangement of antigen receptor genes
also activate a transcriptional program, but with a difference. Many
of the regulated genes are involved in lymphocyte development.
