Autosomal Allelic Inactivation: Variable Replication and Dosage Sensitivity

Michael B. Heskett, Athanasios E Vouzas, Brian Johnstone, Krister P. Freese, Phillip A. Yates, Philip F. Copenhaver, Paul T. Spellman, David M. Gilbert, Mathew J. Thayer

The paper identifies and characterizes Autosomal Inactivation/Stability Centers (I/SCs) as loci with allele-specific epigenetic regulation of replication timing and gene expression, showing dosage sensitivity and implications for human diseases.

Master transcription factor binding sites constitute the core of early replication control elements

Jesse L. Turner, Laura Hinojosa-Gonzalez, Takayo Sasaki, Satoshi Uchino, Athanasios E Vouzas, Mariella S Soto, Abhijit Chakraborty, Karen E. Alexander, Cheryl A. Fitch, Amber N. Brown, Ferhat Ay, David M. Gilbert

The paper identifies subERCEs as master transcription factor binding sites that drive early replication timing and transcription in mESCs, functioning as both enhancers and structural chromatin organizers.

Beyond A and B Compartments: how major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function

Omid Gholamalamdari, Tom van Schaik, Yuchuan Wang, Pradeep Kumar, Liguo Zhang, Yang Zhang, Gabriela Andrea Hernandez Gonzalez, Athanasios E Vouzas, Peiyao A Zhao, David M. Gilbert, Jian Ma, Bas van Steensel, Andrew S. Belmont

The paper examines genome organization in human cells relative to nuclear locales, finding that gene expression and replication timing correlate with different nuclear structures and that LADs and iLADs compete for lamina attachment.

Transcription can be sufficient, but is not necessary, to advance replication timing

Athanasios E Vouzas, Takayo Sasaki, Juan Carlos Rivera‐Mulia, Jesse L. Turner, Amber N. Brown, Karen E. Alexander, Laura Brueckner, Bas van Steensel, David M. Gilbert

The paper manipulates transcription to show it can advance replication timing but is not required for the switch to early replication.

Linear Interaction Between Replication and Transcription Shapes DNA Break Dynamics at Recurrent DNA Break Clusters

Lorenzo Corazzi, Vivien S. Ionasz, Sergej Andrejev, Li-Chin Wang, Athanasios E Vouzas, Marco Giaisi, Giulia Di Muzio, Boyu Ding, Anna J. M. Marx, Jonas Henkenjohann, Michael M. Allers, David M. Gilbert, Pei‐Chi Wei

The paper investigates DNA break dynamics at recurrent DNA break clusters (RDCs) in mouse neural progenitor cells, revealing how replication-transcription collisions influence DSB formation and orientation.
