The paper shows 3'-tRNA fragments repress murine LTR-retrotransposons by targeting their tRNA primer binding site, revealing a role in gene regulation.

This study identifies HENMT1 as a methyltransferase that protects 3'-tRNA fragments from degradation, enhancing their ability to silence endogenous retroviruses.

The paper identifies pseudouridine as a marker for germline small RNAs in plants and mammals, showing its role in epigenetic inheritance through nuclear transport.

The paper identifies Brd4 as a suppressor of genome instability in Dicer1-/- mouse embryonic stem cells, showing its role in coordinating transcription and replication of satellite repeats.

This study identifies HMGXB4 as a regulator of Sleeping Beauty transposition in vertebrate germinal stem cells, linking it to chromatin dynamics and stemness maintenance during early development.

The paper characterizes LTR retrotransposon activity in Arabidopsis using VLP DNA-seq, revealing transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and reverse transcriptional regulation by easiRNAs.
