This study reconstitutes sister chromatid cohesion in budding yeast, revealing two pathways for cohesin recruitment and a two-step mechanism for co-entrapment.

This study reveals DNA replication fork stabilization and restart mechanisms using biochemical reconstitution in budding yeast.

This study shows that DNA secondary structures like G4s and iMs cause replication fork arrest and breakage, and that Pif1 helicase is required to resolve stalled forks.
