Please suggest a cool paper/preprint in your field in the last year or so!

For a course I teach, I am collecting papers on: cell/dev bio, microbio, neuro, maths/stats/CS/chem/phys applied to biology.

Students use one paper as the basis for a "research grant application" that they will write. So papers that are cool but also open doors to future study are ideal! Do you know one? It can be your own, I don't mind!

@clathrin This is a very cool recent story from Luis Barreiro's lab, evolutionary footprints of the plague in the human genome - it starts out with cadavers in plague pits and ends up with some hits that definitely could be used in a "write a project that continues from this paper" exercise
