This study shows that Tup1 is essential for transcriptional repression in quiescent S. cerevisiae cells during glucose starvation.

The paper identifies the ACF chromatin remodeling complex as essential for Polycomb repression in Neurospora crassa by analyzing H3K27-methylated chromatin.

The paper introduces a rapid, inexpensive protocol for mapping nucleosome positions in fungi and mammalian cells, validated across multiple species and compatible with high-throughput sequencing.

The paper identifies EPR-1 as an H3K27 methylation effector in Neurospora crassa and shows its evolutionary conservation across eukaryotes.
Kevin J. McNaught, Elizabeth T. Wiles, Eric U. Selker
The paper identifies a PRC2 accessory subunit in Neurospora crassa that is required for subtelomeric H3K27 methylation and gene repression.

The paper constructs marked Neurospora crassa strains and develops a Bayesian method to estimate fitness in competition experiments, showing fitness differences related to mating type and a qde-2 mutation.

The paper shows that telomere repeats can induce H3K27 methylation domains in Neurospora crassa, revealing a cis-acting mechanism for heterochromatin formation.
