A phase oscillator model of cell cycles reveals nuclear density control in a branched fungal network

Grace A. McLaughlin, Benjamin M. Stormo, Ameya P. Jalihal, Taylor L. Pompan, Madhav Mani, Timothy C. Elston, Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper models nuclear division in a branching fungal network to show that asynchronous cycles and density-responsive branching stabilize nuclear density.

Sequence and structure of protein binding sites in RNA impact biomolecular condensates

Sierra J. Cole, Scott R. Allen, Bryan B. Guzmán, Yue Hu, Benjamin M. Stormo, Christine Roden, Joanne L. Ekena, Vita Zhang, Grace A. McLaughlin, Alex W. Crocker, Alain Laederach, Daniel Dominguez, Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper investigates how RNA-protein binding site context, not just valence, affects biomolecular condensate properties in Ashbya gossypii.

RNA encodes physical information

Ian Seim, Vita Zhang, Ameya P. Jalihal, Benjamin M. Stormo, Sierra J. Cole, Joanne L. Ekena, Hung T. Nguyen, Dave Thirumalai, Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper develops a genetic algorithm to study how synonymous mutations affect mRNA structure and reveals a physical code in the genetic code that influences RNA-protein complex properties.
