Evidence of monkeypox virus clade IIb lineage A.2.2 in the Republic of the Congo and co-circulation of clade Ia, Ib and clade IIb

Nature Medicine, Published online: 03 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04256-2

Whole-genome phylogenetic analyses have identified a case of monkeypox virus clade IIb lineage in the Republic of the Congo and co-circulation of three clade lineages, emphasizing the importance of improved surveillance given the risk of possible recombination events in the future.

Cell-type-specific transposon demethylation and TAD remodeling in aging mouse brain

A multi-omic single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain reveals cell-type-specific transposon methylation changes, strengthening of 3D genome boundaries, and regionally heterogeneous aging signatures. These findings offer a resource to understand the molecular mechanisms of brain aging and guide future research on neurodegeneration.

Nuclear speckles enable processing of RNA from GC-rich isochores

Nuclear speckles are key subnuclear structures that regulate gene expression in GC-rich regions. This work shows that the evolution and expansion of core speckle proteins were crucial for the increased GC content seen in amniote genomes.

The MicrobeAtlas database: Global trends and insights into Earth’s microbial ecosystems

MicrobeAtlas (www.microbeatlas.org) is an integrated, reference-based resource for truly planet-wide microbiomics, analyzing hundreds of thousands of microbial lineages across diverse environments, conditions, and technologies.

Developmental organization of sensory and sympathetic ganglia

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10313-0

Findings suggest that neural crest fate bias predominantly emerges within the neural tube, and that only a minor subset of delaminated progenitors retain multipotency to generate both sensory and sympathetic derivatives.

Expansion of outer cortical CUX2 neurons requires adaptations for DNA repair

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10290-4

The transcription factor ATF4 is shown to regulate double-stranded DNA repair within vulnerable CUX2+ upper-layer 2/3 cortical neurons, enabling their survival during development.

Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10203-5

A study of reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social and behavioural sciences finds higher reproducibility among more recent papers and papers from journals that require data sharing.

Investigating the replicability of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-10078-y

A large-scale study on the replicability of claims from social and behavioural science journals reports that about half of the results replicate in the same patterns as the original study.

Flexible ensheathment of axons enables myelination of complex CNS networks

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10312-1

The rate of axon ensheathment varies within individual myelinating processes, resulting in chains of myelin sheaths connected by bridges consisting of thin cytoplasmic processes that provide flexibility for myelination of highly branched axons.

Investigating the analytical robustness of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09844-9

When 100 social and behavioural science claims were examined, 34% of reanalyses closely matched the original results, with 74% reaching the same conclusion, revealing limited robustness of single-path analyses and the need to address analytical uncertainty.

A chelicera-bearing arthropod reveals the Cambrian origin of chelicerates

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10284-2

Megachelicerax cousteaui gen. et sp. nov. is a large soft-bodied arthropod from the middle Cambrian of Utah featuring massive three-segmented chelicerae, along with five pairs of pseudobiramous prosomal limbs with non-foliaceous exopodal rami, and plate-like lamellae-bearing opisthosomal appendages.
