Human ribomes reveal DNA-embedded ribonucleotides as a new type of epigenetic mark

The paper maps DNA-embedded ribonucleotides (rNMPs) across human cell types, revealing their non-random distribution and role as a novel epigenetic mark affecting gene expression.

Distinct features of ribonucleotides within genomic DNA in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS)-ortholog mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

This study examines rNMP incorporation in AGS-ortholog yeast mutants, revealing differences in rNMP abundance and strand-specific patterns.

Disproportionate presence of adenosine in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The paper identifies a disproportionate incorporation of adenosine in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii compared to nuclear DNA, linked to elevated ATP levels.
