Temperature and genetic background drive mobilization of diverse transposable elements in a global human fungal pathogen

Anna I. Mackey, Vesper M. Fraunfelter, Samantha Shaltz, John McCormick, Callan Schroeder, John R. Perfect, Cédric Feschotte, Paul M. Magwene, Asiya A. Gusa

This study shows that temperature and genetic background influence transposable element (TE) mobilization in Cryptococcus neoformans, increasing antifungal resistance and genomic changes.

Genetic control of the error-prone repair of a chromosomal double-strand break with 5' overhangs in yeast

Samantha Shaltz, Sue Jinks-Robertson

The paper investigates the genetic factors influencing error-prone NHEJ repair of chromosomal DSBs with 5' overhangs in yeast, identifying roles for Pol4, TLS polymerases, and Exo1/Sgs1.

Trapped Topoisomerase II initiates formation of de novo duplications via the nonhomologous end-joining pathway in yeast

Nicole Stantial, Anna T. Rogojina, Matthew A. Gilbertson, Yilun Sun, Hannah N. Miles, Samantha Shaltz, James M. Berger, Karin C. Nitiss, Sue Jinks-Robertson, John L. Nitiss

This study identifies a yeast Top2 mutant that generates stabilized cleavage intermediates, leading to de novo duplications via nonhomologous end-joining.

Recombinational repair of nuclease-generated mitotic double-strand breaks with different end structures in yeast

Dionna Gamble, Samantha Shaltz, Sue Jinks-Robertson

This study investigates how different end structures of double-strand breaks affect recombination outcomes in yeast, finding that end polarity has little effect on mitotic recombination despite potential differences in repair rate.
