Evolution of mechanical chromatin insulators from selfish genetic elements

Faisal Alkhaldi, Monika Priyadarshini, Sonia El Mouridi, Hajar Al‐Zarah, Satoshi Habuchi, Christian Frøkjær‐Jensen

The paper shows that DNA sequence-encoded mechanical properties, not just proteins, can create chromatin insulation by transforming Helitron transposons into barrier elements in C. elegans.

Modular safe-harbor Transgene Insertion (MosTI) for targeted single-copy and extrachromosomal array integration in C. elegans.

Sonia El Mouridi, Faisal Alkhaldi, Christian Frøkjær‐Jensen

The paper introduces MosTI, a method for targeted transgene insertion in C. elegans using CRISPR/Cas9, enabling efficient single-copy and extrachromosomal array integration.
