This study uses Hi-C data to challenge the Cholesteric Liquid Crystal model of dinoflagellate chromosomes by showing no evidence of cholesteric discs and demonstrating transcription occurs throughout chromosomes.

This study uses 3D FIB-SEM to analyze chromosome morphology across eight dinoflagellate species, revealing shared features and species-specific differences.

The paper shows that the LINC complex and nuclear lamina delay nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos by organizing heterochromatin, with CEC-4 playing a key role in suppressing premature nucleoli.

This study combines theory and experiments to show how trait-resource matching constrains coexistence in microbial communities under nonequilibrium conditions.

The paper identifies Omega subunit's role in stabilizing RNA polymerase condensates during acid stress, enhancing bacterial survival.

This paper develops an ex vivo EU-click labeling protocol to visualize nascent RNA in C. elegans intestines, showing EU incorporation reflects rRNA transcription and localizes to the fibrillar zone.

The paper shows that resource-use plasticity affects trait-abundance relationships in microbial communities, with transient dynamics influencing species sorting and community structure.

This study shows that transcription of ribosomal RNA actively drives nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos, explaining rapid kinetics and scaling with nuclear volume.
