BioEssays 2021, 43, 2100068, https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.202100068 After acceptance of the article, three additional references were added. The respective sentences should read: - On page 4: To further explore the presence of epigenetic-modifying proteins in bacteria associated with corals, we searched for potential homologs of known epigenome-modifying proteins from other host systems (see above)

It is my privilege to serve as Guest Editor of this Focus Issue of BioEssays which was written during a year of many challenges—a pandemic that has changed every facet of human life, major transformation of political systems, a climate crisis that threatens the wellbeing of our planet itself, and a world-wide demand for social justice that pushes against the inertia of age-old socio-economic hierarchies

During the pandemic, interactions with students had to be from a distance. This got me to think about biases in assessments. In one of the courses, students had to reflect on a technically difficult “Omics” paper, answering questions and giving critical feedback. As individual student-teacher interactions had to be quite minimal, I ended up with a bunch of documents with “faceless” names. In the process

If you read the editorial of BioEssays’ June Issue you will have seen that Andrew Moore has left Wiley to pursue a career as a freelance writer and writing coach. It is my great pleasure to succeed Andrew in his role of Editor-in-Chief of this very special review journal. I started my publishing career back in the summer of 2010 when I joined BioEssays as Assistant Editor, and I was therefore very

BioEssays 2021, 43, 2100054 https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.202100054 In the originally published article there is an error in the penultimate sentence of the caption to Figure 4. This sentence should read: "In the first, third, and fifth sections of plot (B), onsets of mania are synchronous with alternating full and new moon phases of every third 14.78-d semi-synodic lunar cycle (see Figure 7 in [10])

Nothing in cancer makes sense except in the light of evolution. Mel Graves (2018) BMC Biology 16 (22) The origin and fate of cancer cells touch every aspect of biology, from the genetic scale to the organism's multicellular organisation and its relationship with the environment. From cells and their microenvironment to their harbouring organism and its environment, tumour progression is, by all means

Stem cell proliferation and cellular differentiation need to be tightly coordinated with the mitotic cell cycle. But how is this done at the mechanistic level? How do gene regulatory proteins, such as pluripotency factors and lineage-specific transcription factors, interact with the cell cycle machinery either to maintain stemness or to promote differentiation? And to what extent are the cell cycle
