This study shows that constitutive sporulation in wild fission yeast enhances survival by resisting digestion by fruit flies, despite being disadvantageous under nutrient-rich conditions.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for two wild cherry species, revealing structural variations and insights into their evolutionary relationships.

The paper identifies positively charged amino acid residues in MukB essential for ssDNA binding and topological loading, impacting bacterial chromosome segregation.

The paper identifies ssDNA regions in bacterial rDNA that serve as condensin-loading sites using CT-conversion sequencing.

This study investigates the specificity of two GPCRs, Mam2 and Map3, in fission yeast for their respective pheromones, revealing differences in molecular recognition and signaling.
