Radiation and diversification of GATA-domain-containing proteins in the genus Caenorhabditis

A. C. Darragh, S. A. Rifkin

The paper examines the evolution of GATA-type transcription factors in the Caenorhabditis genus, finding that despite gene duplications and sequence divergence, most GATA factors maintain similar DNA binding preferences.

A GATA factor radiation in Caenorhabditis rewired the endoderm specification network

A. C. Darragh, R. Weinstein, J. R. Bloom, S. A. Rifkin

The paper shows how gene duplication rewired the endoderm specification network in Caenorhabditis elegans through the evolution of GATA factors during a radiation event.

The circadian clock and darkness control natural competence in cyanobacteria

A. Taton, C. Erikson, Y. Yang, B. E. Rubin, S. A. Rifkin, J. W. Golden, S. S. Golden

This study identifies genes required for natural competence in Synechococcus elongatus and shows that the circadian clock and darkness regulate the process.

Genome-wide fitness assessment during diurnal growth reveals an expanded role of the cyanobacterial circadian clock protein KaiA

D. G. Welkie, B. E. Rubin, Y.-G. Chang, S. Diamond, S. A. Rifkin, A. LiWang, S. S. Golden

The paper identifies genes critical for survival in light-dark cycles in cyanobacteria and shows KaiA's role in regulating a night-time metabolic program.
