This study shows that a single BRC repeat supports viability in mice but multiple repeats enhance resilience under oxidative stress.

The paper develops AVENGERS, a method using CRISPR-Cas9 to classify BRCA2 variants as functional or nonfunctional, improving the interpretation of variants of uncertain significance.

The paper shows that migrating stem cells in planarians experience DNA damage, which is repaired to allow migration to wound sites.

This study uses ChIP-seq to analyze histone modifications in planarian stem cells, finding bivalent promoters conserved across animal stem cells.

The paper shows that condensin I is essential for planarian stem cell maintenance and that only sigma-neoblasts can self-renew.
