This study shows that gene clusters for magnetite formation in bacteria confer resistance to hydrogen peroxide, supporting an early origin of magnetotactic bacteria before Earth's oxygenation.

The paper investigates chromatin state reorganization during leg regeneration in pancrustaceans, finding a conserved sequence of chromatin resetting and pioneer factor activation across species.

This study investigates how Rad55-Rad57 and Srs2 regulate homology search in yeast by controlling Rad51-ssDNA filament stability and coordination.

The paper identifies condensin-dependent loop extrusion and roadblocks in S. cerevisiae, showing their role in homology search during DNA repair.

The paper models DNA replication in yeast to show replication-dependent spatial patterns and chromatin dynamics in the nucleus.

The paper shows donor transcription suppresses D-loops in cis, promoting genome stability in S. cerevisiae.

This paper investigates the mechanism of homology search expansion during DNA break repair, revealing how chromatin structure, NPF stiffening, and resection drive genome-wide search.

The paper investigates whether neuroinvasion and anosmia are independent outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection by analyzing clinical, olfactory, and neuroinflammatory responses in infected golden hamsters.

The paper identifies two distinct pathways of genome rearrangement induced by multi-invasion during homologous recombination and their impact on genome stability.

This study shows that bacterial chromosomes can undergo chromatin assembly, activity, looping, and compartmentalization in yeast, driven by their sequence composition.

This study shows cohesin promotes cis dsDNA over-sampling during homology search in yeast by blocking cohesin progression and enabling loop expansion-coupled scanning.

This study develops an assay to detect D-loops in vivo, revealing their formation kinetics and two distinct pathways for their disruption involving Srs2 and Mph1/Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 complexes.

The paper redesigns a genomic region for improved Hi-C analysis, revealing insights into homolog pairing and loop formation during meiosis.
