The outside front cover of issue 8 features work from Mark Ragan and co-workers at the University of Queensland, Australia. In their paper, they use full-length human cDNAs to interrogate the protein-coding transcriptional output of genes, showing the variation in the inclusion of protein interaction domains. This data was then mapped to protein interaction data, to show the variation in network connectivity that was likely.

The inside front cover features work from Eric Maréchal and colleagues in France. In the review article, Galvestine-1 is discussed as a probe to study the lipid homeostasis system at the whole cell level and the review highlights connections between monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthesis and Arabidopsis flower development.

As with all our cover articles, both of these are free to access (following a simple registration) for 6 weeks.
Also included in the issue are a method for detecting protein–protein interactions in vivo, and papers focusing on understanding the molecular basis of MK2–p38α signaling complex assembly and a large scale phosphoproteome analysis of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells.
