This study shows that mycoloyltransferases are essential for mycomembrane assembly and cell division in Corynebacterium glutamicum, independent of their role in mycolic acid transfer.

This study shows that host environments shape bacterial population dynamics by promoting coexistence of sporulating and non-sporulating subpopulations and altering their functional traits.

The paper investigates how SPI-1 activation in Salmonella remodels chromatin structure and regulates gene expression through H-NS and HilD interactions.

The paper identifies a two-fold transcriptome expansion in Arabidopsis thaliana during photomorphogenesis, with most differentially expressed genes upregulated, and reveals the role of HY5 in light-mediated gene regulation.

The paper identifies and characterizes NCR peptides in legumes, revealing convergent evolution across clades and functional analogs in symbiosis.

The paper determines the developmental timing of DNA elimination in Paramecium tetraurelia and links it to the evolutionary dynamics of germline transposons.

This study characterizes the gut microbiome of Xenopus tadpoles across life stages, revealing its role in physiology and development.

This paper shows that H1 prevents H3K27me3 accumulation at telomeres and ITRs in Arabidopsis by restricting DNA accessibility to TRB proteins, while promoting PRC2 activity at genes.

The paper measures meiotic recombination rates in yeast strains and finds recombination correlates with sequence similarity and is reduced in homozygous genotypes.
