Cln3 can work independently of Whi5 on the cell size for Start in yeast

Amrita Shah, Sangeet A. Honey, Richard Sejour, Chenjun He, Bruce Futcher

The paper shows that CLN3 can function independently of WHI5 in regulating cell size for Start in yeast, as the double mutant exhibits near-wild-type cell size.

No Ramp Needed: Spandrels, Statistics, and a Slippery Slope

Richard Sejour, Janet Leatherwood, Alisa Yurovsky, Bruce Futcher

The paper re-examines the slow translation ramp at gene 5 ends in yeast, finding it is a spandrel rather than an adaptive feature, as slow translation correlates with poor gene expression.

Gene recoding by synonymous mutations creates promiscuous intragenic transcription initiation in mycobacteria

Nuri K. Hegelmeyer, Lia A. Parkin, Mary Lou Previti, Joshua Andrade, Raditya Utama, Richard Sejour, Justin Gardin, Stéphanie Muller, Steven Ketchum, Alisa Yurovsky, Bruce Futcher, Sara Goodwin, Beatrix M. Ueberheide, Jessica C. Seeliger

The paper shows that synonymous mutations in mycobacteria can create new transcription start sites within genes, leading to smaller protein isoforms.
