Epromoters bind key stress-related transcription factors to regulate clusters of stress response genes

The paper identifies Epromoters as cis-regulatory elements that regulate clusters of stress-response genes by recruiting key transcription factors, showing their role across different stress models.

Extracellular matrix stiffness modulates nuclear lamina organisation and sets nuclear conditions for PRC2 repression.

The paper shows ECM stiffness alters nuclear lamina composition and PRC2-mediated gene repression through changes in chromatin structure and motion.

G-quadruplexes are promoter elements controlling nucleosome exclusion and RNA polymerase II pausing

This study identifies G-quadruplexes as promoter elements that exclude nucleosomes and facilitate RNA polymerase II pausing.
