The paper assembles high-quality genomes of two waxy maize inbreds, identifies structural variations contributing to yield and flavor traits, and highlights their role in hybrid performance.

This study investigates the distinct and compensatory roles of Stag1 and Stag2 in post-mitotic genome refolding, showing Stag2's critical role in chromatin remodeling and transcription activation.

This study shows that most cis-regulatory element contacts and gene transcription after mitosis occur without loop extrusion, though some loops depend on NIPBL.

This study investigates genome folding in condensin-depleted mitotic chromosomes, revealing compartmentalization mechanisms distinct from interphase.

The paper identifies 571 noncoded amino acids in the human sperm proteome, revealing novel residues and disease associations through mass spectrometry and exon sequencing.
