    Abstract Background: Individuals' sense of belonging (SoB) to their neighborhood is an understudied psychosocial factor that may influence the association between neighborhood characteristics, health, and disparities across socio-demographic groups.
    Methods: Using 2014-2016 data from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW,
    Results: A higher SoB is positively associated with better physical, mental, and general health. White participants report higher SoB than Black participants, yet the association between SoB and mental health is strongest among participants of color and urban residents.
    Conclusion: Sense of belonging to neighborhood significantly predicts many facets of health, with place and individual characteristics appearing to moderate this relationship. Racial, geographic, and socioeconomic disparities in belonging-health associations raise important questions about who benefits from the social, economic, and physical aspects of local communities.

    Abstract Several extinct chinchilloid rodents in the clades Dinomyidae and Neoepiblemidae grew to sizes much larger than any living rodent species. However, the exact size of these rodents is a matter of controversy, with authors disagreeing due to issues over extrapolation and model selection. Prior estimates for the two largest extinct rodents, Phoberomys pattersoni and Josephoartigasia monesi, range from 230 to 700 kg for P. pattersoni and 350 to 2600 kg for J. monesi. Here, I estimate body mass in large, extinct rodents using occipital condyle width (OCW), a strong predictor of body size in mammals, using a dataset that circumvents many of the issues faced by previous studies of species. Body masses under shape-corrected OCW are much lower than previous studies: 108–200 kg for P. pattersoni and 480 kg for J. monesi. Mass estimates for other rodent taxa (Neoepiblema, Telicomys, Dinomys) agree with previous studies. Estimates using skull length, corrected condyle width and head-body length are similar, suggesting estimates of 150 kg for Phoberomys and 480 kg for Josephoartigasia, and that larger estimates of 700 and 1200 kg are unlikely. High estimates in previous studies appear to be due to the unrecognized, nonlinear relationship between certain skeletal measurements (skull size) and body mass.

    Abstract A rich literature shows that early-life conditions shape later-life outcomes, including health and migration events. However, analyses of geographic disparities in mortality outcomes focus almost exclusively on contemporaneously measured geographic place (e.g., state of residence at death), thereby potentially conflating the role of early-life conditions, migration patterns, and effects of destinations. We employ the newly available Mortality Disparities in American Communities data set, which links respondents in the 2008 American Community Survey to official death records, and estimate consequential differences based on the method of aggregation we use: the unweighted mean absolute deviation of the difference in life expectancy at age 50 measured by state of birth versus state of residence is 0.58 years for men and 0.40 years for women. These differences are also spatially clustered, and we show that regional inequality in life expectancy is higher based on life expectancies by state of birth, implying that interstate migration mitigates baseline geographic inequality in mortality outcomes. Finally, we assess how state-specific features of in-migration, out-migration, and nonmigration together shape measures of mortality disparities by state (of residence), further demonstrating the difficulty of clearly interpreting these widely used measures.

    Abstract HIV-1 integrase and capsid proteins interact with host proteins to direct preintegration complexes to active transcription units within gene-dense regions of chromosomes for viral DNA integration. Analyses of spatially-derived genomic DNA coordinates, such as nuclear speckle-associated domains, lamina-associated domains, super enhancers, and Spatial Position Inference of the Nuclear (SPIN) genome states, have further informed the mechanisms of HIV-1 integration targeting. Critically, however, these different types of genomic coordinates have not been systematically analyzed to synthesize a concise description of the regions of chromatin that HIV-1 prefers for integration. To address this informational gap, we have extensively correlated genomic DNA coordinates of HIV-1 integration targeting preferences. We demonstrate that nuclear speckle-associated and speckle-proximal chromatin are highly predictive markers of integration and that these regions account for known HIV biases for gene-dense regions, highly transcribed genes, as well as the mid-regions of gene bodies. In contrast to a prior report that intronless genes were poorly targeted for integration, we find that intronless genes in proximity to nuclear speckles are more highly targeted than are spatially-matched intron-containing genes. Our results additionally highlight the contributions of capsid and integrase interactions with respective CPSF6 and LEDGF/p75 host factors in these HIV-1 integration targeting preferences.

    Abstract The integration of retroviral reverse transcripts into the chromatin of the cells that they infect is required for virus replication. Retroviral integration has far-reaching consequences, from perpetuating deadly human diseases to molding metazoan evolution. The lentivirus human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), which is the causative agent of the AIDS pandemic, efficiently infects interphase cells due to the active nuclear import of its preintegration complex (PIC). To enable integration, the PIC must navigate the densely-packed nuclear environment where the genome is organized into different chromatin states of varying accessibility in accordance with cellular needs. The HIV-1 capsid protein interacts with specific host factors to facilitate PIC nuclear import, while additional interactions of viral integrase, the enzyme responsible for viral DNA integration, with cellular nuclear proteins and nucleobases guide integration to specific chromosomal sites. HIV-1 integration favors transcriptionally active chromatin such as speckle-associated domains and disfavors heterochromatin including lamina-associated domains. In this review, we describe virus-host interactions that facilitate HIV-1 PIC nuclear import and integration site targeting, highlighting commonalities among factors that participate in both of these steps. We moreover discuss how the nuclear landscape influences HIV-1 integration site selection as well as the establishment of active versus latent virus infection.
