RIF1-ASF1-mediated high-order chromatin structure safeguards genome integrity

Sumin Feng, Sai Ma, Kejiao Li, Shengxian Gao, Shaokai Ning, Jinfeng Shang, Ruiyuan Guo, Yingying Chen, Britny Blumenfeld, Itamar Simon, Qing Li, Rong Guo, Dongyi Xu

This study identifies ASF1 as a partner of RIF1 that promotes NHEJ by compacting chromatin and suppressing resection in BRCA1-deficient cells.

Cancer mutational processes vary in their association with replication timing and chromatin accessibility

Adar Yaacov, Oriya Vardi, Britny Blumenfeld, Avraham Greenberg, Dashiell J. Massey, Amnon Koren, Sheera Adar, Itamar Simon, Shai Rosenberg

The paper analyzes mutational signatures in tumors to determine their association with replication timing and chromatin accessibility, finding signature-specific associations and clinical relevance of SBS16 in liver cancer.

Germline DNA replication timing shapes mammalian genome composition

Yishai Yehuda, Britny Blumenfeld, Nina Mayorek, Kirill Makedonski, Oriya Vardi, Leonor Cohen‐Daniel, Yousef Mansour, Shulamit Sebban, Hagit Masika, Marganit Farago, Michael F. Berger, Shai Carmi, Yosef Buganim, Amnon Koren, Itamar Simon

The paper measures DNA replication timing in mouse germline cells and shows it strongly correlates with mutation rates, recombination hotspots, and genomic features compared to somatic tissues.
