The paper introduces digital-chromosome-banding to analyze meiotic silencing dynamics and identifies sexual dimorphism in meiotic silencing processes.

This study shows folate deficiency during spermatogenesis causes stage-specific metabolic and chromatin changes in the male germline, affecting histone modifications and epigenetic inheritance.

The paper shows that paternal folate deficiency affects meiotic chromatin and epigenomic changes in the male germline, particularly at CGI-associated promoters.

This study shows that ants use internal states to modulate beacon-aiming behavior in response to past, imminent, and predicted adverse substrate conditions.

This study shows that KRAB-zinc-finger proteins regulate endogenous retroviruses in the germline, shaping transcriptomes and genome evolution through evolutionary conserved mechanisms.

The paper shows that inter-species mRNA transfer from mouse embryonic stem cells to human pluripotent stem cells reprograms them to a naive-like state through specific transcription factors.

The paper shows that DNA demethylation during spermatogenesis occurs before nucleosome retention in sperm, contributing to epigenetic reprogramming for embryonic gene regulation.

This study identifies PRC1's role in maintaining adult undifferentiated spermatogonia by directing PRC2-H3K27me3 deposition to prevent differentiation and sustain slow cycling.

This study shows that CTCF-mediated 3D chromatin structure pre-establishes gene expression programs required for spermatogenesis by forming meiosis-specific super-enhancers and regulating chromatin loops.

The paper identifies Polycomb's role in suppressing a female gene regulatory network in Sertoli cells to maintain testicular differentiation.

This study identifies endogenous retroviruses as drivers of species-specific germline transcriptomes in mammals, particularly through their role in gene activation and enhancer function in spermatogenesis.

The paper shows that super-enhancer switching drives bursts in germline gene expression during the mitosis-to-meiosis transition in testis.
