      This valuable study uses a novel method to record spine calcium responses without the confounds of backpropagating action potentials to study how the dendritic integration of large numbers of inputs generates the tuned output of cortical neurons. While the results are generally solid, the study would benefit from more details, characterizations, and quantifications, including better validation of the method to suppress backpropagating action potentials.

      eLife Assessment

      This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The evidence provided is convincing. This manuscript will interest researchers working on transcriptional regulation, horizontal gene transfer, and phages.

      eLife Assessment

      This is a valuable study and a promising development for the field of open-source microscopy for educational purposes. The strengths include the low cost of constructing the microscope, impressive performance and detailed resources including a dedicated website and YouTube channel. The claims are generally supported by solid evidence, however, the manuscript would be strengthened by inclusion of further details on standard performance metrics (e.g. signal to noise ratio etc.) compared to existing systems and further details and clarification on the microscope, construction and operation.
