The paper shows that NHR-85 and NHR-23 heterodimers regulate lin-4 miRNA transcription pulses in C. elegans, similar to circadian clock mechanisms in mammals.

The paper introduces an engineered auxin analog and AtTIR1(F79G) pair to improve the specificity and efficacy of the auxin degradation system in C. elegans.

This paper identifies pqn-59 as a factor that antagonizes miRNA-mediated repression and promotes stress granule formation in C. elegans, contributing to regulatory bistability in developmental gene networks.

The paper identifies an epigenetic priming mechanism mediated by BLMP-1 that decompacts chromatin to regulate transcriptional output in response to nutrient sensing.
