MatP local enrichment delays segregation independently of tetramer formation and septal anchoring in Vibrio cholerae

The paper shows V. cholerae MatP structures and delays segregation of both chromosomes independently of tetramer formation and divisome interaction.

Viral proteins activate PARIS-mediated tRNA degradation and viral tRNAs rescue infection

The paper shows that viral proteins activate PARIS-mediated tRNA degradation, and viral tRNAs rescue infection by preventing cleavage.

Transcriptional units form the elementary constraining building blocks of the bacterial chromosome

The paper shows that transcriptional units form discrete 3D domains that constrain bacterial chromosome organization at a fine scale.

The slow evolving genome of the xenacoelomorph worm Xenoturbella bocki

This study analyzes the genome of Xenoturbella bocki to assess its phylogenetic position and genomic complexity, finding it has a complex genome similar to other bilaterians.

Chromosome folding and prophage activation reveal gut-specific genome dynamics of bacteria in the OMM12 consortium

The paper uses Hi-C to study chromosome folding and prophage activation in gut bacteria, identifying functional prophages and their environmental dynamics.

The contribution of cohesin to chromatid organisation is critical during chromosome segregation

The paper shows cohesin maintains chromatid organisation during anaphase in yeast, despite being thought to be removed by separase cleavage.

The silencing factor Sir3 is a molecular bridge that sticks together distant loci

This study shows Sir3 bridges distant genomic loci, promoting long-range contacts and rDNA compaction in yeast, independent of its known partners.

Homologous chromosomes in asexual rotifer Adineta vaga suggest automixis

This study presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga, revealing homologous chromosomes and evidence of recombination consistent with automixis.

Phages - bacteria interactions network of the healthy human gut

The paper uses an enhanced metagenomic Hi-C approach to identify 6,651 host-phage relationships in the healthy human gut, revealing active and dormant phages and their bacterial hosts.

Chromosome organization by a conserved condensin-ParB system in the actinobacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum

This study investigates the role of ParB and condensin complexes in chromosome organization in Corynebacterium glutamicum, revealing distinct functions for different condensin paralogs.
