SUMO Promotes DNA Repair Protein Collaboration to Support Alterative Telomere Lengthening in the Absence of PML

This study shows SUMO promotes DNA repair protein collaboration for telomere maintenance in ALT cancer cells without PML bodies.

Soft selection affects introgression dynamics and the viability of populations experiencing intrusion of maladapted individuals

This study shows that soft selection influences introgression dynamics and population viability when maladapted individuals intrude into wild populations, depending on their competitiveness.

Extrachromosomal Telomeres Derived from Excessive Strand Displacements

This study identifies the generation mechanism of C-rich single-stranded DNAs and C-circles in ALT cancers using a novel assay, showing their origin from Okazaki fragment processing and CST-PP complex-mediated DNA synthesis.

Genetic stock identification reveals greater use of an oceanic feeding ground around the Faroe Islands by multi-sea winter Atlantic salmon.

The paper uses genetic stock assignment and run-reconstruction models to show that multi-sea winter Atlantic salmon use the Faroe Islands feeding ground more than previously thought, with variation among stocks and age classes.
