This study shows ethanol stress increases siRNA-mediated epimutations in fission yeast, leading to transposon expression changes and phenotypic variability.

The paper identifies centromeres as hotspots for spontaneous DNA methylation epimutations in Neurospora crassa, showing these changes are mitotically stable and occur much more frequently than genetic mutations.

This study examines how population size affects adaptation to fluctuating temperatures in fission yeast, finding no significant impact on adaptation or trade-offs.

The paper investigates how chromatin structure affects mutation rates and spectra in Neurospora crassa, finding higher mutation rates in specific chromatin domains.
