The paper identifies functional roles of human KZFPs through overexpression screening and integrative analysis, revealing diverse mechanisms in cellular homeostasis.

The paper identifies a noncanonical role for KZFPs in restricting TE-derived regulatory elements to maintain cell-type identity, independent of TRIM28.

This study shows that SCAN domain zinc-finger proteins bind transposon sequences and anchor nucleosomes, affecting chromatin structure and regulatory states.

This study identifies degenerate transposable elements in the human genome using ancestral genome reconstruction, finding 1.45 million new elements and their regulatory roles.

This study examines the small RNA profile of house sparrow sperm to explore how paternal age affects offspring fitness, finding no significant differences in miRNA and tRNA fragments between aged and prime sperm.

The paper shows that alterations in sperm long RNA contribute to the inheritance of trauma-induced behavioral and metabolic effects.

SLAM-ITseq enables transcriptome analysis of specific cell types in tissues without prior sorting, providing accurate in vivo transcriptional snapshots.
