Editor’s summary
204 years after Charles Darwin’s birth, sequencing of the genome of the Darwin’s Finch Geospiza magnirostris reveals over 13,000 predicted genes, of which two under positive selection may have contributed to beak morphology evolution, which so interested Darwin.

Editor’s summary
This year, John Gurdon, with Shinya Yamanaka, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery that nuclei from adult cells can be reprogrammed to an undifferentiated state. In a commentary on a paper in Epigenetics & Chromatin from John Gurdon and colleagues, Skene and Henikoff explain how the variant histone H3.3 links the findings of the two prizewinners.
