Heterologous expression of the human cohesin complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in a dominant-negative phenotype

Elizabeth Stephens, Akil Hamza, Maureen R M Driessen, Nigel J. O’Neil, Peter C. Stirling, Philip Hieter

This study shows that human cohesin cannot function in yeast and disrupts endogenous cohesin biology when expressed heterologously.

Characterization of the phototoxicity, chemigenetic profile, and mutational signatures of the chemotherapeutic CX-5461 in Caenorhabditis elegans

Frank B. Ye, Akil Hamza, Tejomayee Singh, Stéphane Flibotte, Philip Hieter, Nigel J. O’Neil

This study characterizes the phototoxicity, chemigenetic profile, and mutational signatures of CX-5461 in C. elegans, showing it induces diverse mutations and requires multiple repair pathways.
