Sea-urchin spines generate electrical signals in flowing water
Nature, Published online: 25 February 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-00374-6
The spines of sea urchins can generate a voltage when water moves around them — a phenomenon that could be used to design underwater flow sensors.

Functional dissection of complex trait variants at single-nucleotide resolution
Fine-mapping
We obtained fine-mapping summary data, including PIPs for each variant and 95% CSs, for 48 traits in the UKBB and BBJ from previous studies31,66. Detailed methods are available from these studies, but we describe the general approach…
