The paper shows that CSR-1 slicer activity and codon usage regulate 22G-RNA biogenesis in C. elegans germline mRNAs.

The paper shows that the Pif1 helicase is inhibited by the Mer3-MutLβ complex during meiotic recombination, limiting gene conversion tract length.

The paper identifies 47 histone PTMs in the brown alga Ectocarpus, including a novel mark, and shows their stable patterns through the life cycle and association with gene expression.

The paper identifies the role of the MutLγ-Exo1 complex in meiotic crossover formation by showing Exo1 recruits Cdc5 to activate MutLγ and highlights its spatial regulation near DSB hotspots.

This study identifies astrocytes as key regulators of critical period closure in the mouse visual cortex through connexin 30-mediated inhibition of MMP9.

The paper identifies a DNA element in the ap2-g gene that modulates heterochromatin spreading in Plasmodium falciparum, revealing a role for RNA-binding proteins in boundary regulation.

The paper shows that H3.3S31 phosphorylation is critical for development at gastrulation in Xenopus, regardless of the deposition pathway.

This study identifies CENP-T as essential for CenH3-independent kinetochore assembly in Lepidoptera, showing its role in recruiting the Mis12 complex and supporting mitotic progression.

This study uses SILAC-based proteomics to identify 86 differentially expressed proteins in murine macrophages infected with Leishmania donovani, revealing changes in host metabolism and lysosomal organization.

The paper identifies BAP1 as a general transcriptional co-activator through CRISPR/Cas9-generated isogenic cell lines and shows it functions independently of the Polycomb machinery.
