This study shows that deleting Lats1/2 in adult mouse testis cells causes seminiferous epithelial collapse and rete testis hyperplasia through distinct transcriptional responses in Sertoli and rete testis epithelial cells.

This study shows that most histone acetylation depends on transcription, as inhibition of transcription reduces histone acetylation and affects HAT recruitment and activity.

The paper shows maternal DNMT3A promotes de novo methylation on the paternal genome in early embryos, which suppresses gene expression.

The paper shows that lineage-specific retroviral promoters drive the evolution of maternal imprinting by establishing DNA methylation at imprinted genes in mice and humans.

The paper shows that H3K4 and H3K36 methylation recruit the NuA3 complex to transcribed genes in S. cerevisiae, while acetylated H3K9 does not, and that the YEATS domain of Taf14 is not involved in recruitment.
