Abstract
Front cover: Son Goku (Sun Wukong), a god in monkey form, was brandishing a Nyoi‐bo representing the TBXT gene. However, an AluY‐marked dagger hit the Nyoi‐bo and broke it off. Xia et al. showed that the loss of tails in hominoids, including humans and apes, was due in part to changes in splicing patterns caused by the insertion of an AluY element into the ancestral TBXT gene (Xia et al. (2024) Nature 626:1042‐1048, DOI: 10.1038/s41586‐024‐07095‐8). Son Goku cannot hide the look of impatience on his face as his tail begins to disappear, having impaired the function of the Nyoi‐bo, which is necessary to maintain his tail, the source of Son Goku's magical power.
