This study maps chromatin accessibility and protamine incorporation during spermiogenesis, revealing compartment-specific dynamics and their role in genome stability.

This study investigates the role of coilin in mice by generating coilin mutants, revealing its involvement in snRNA modifications and the formation of novel condensates in spermatids.

This study develops a method to isolate stage-specific testicular germ cells using fluorescently tagged histones and cell size, improving separation of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids.

This study shows that DOT1L regulates chromatin reorganization and gene expression in male germ cells, leading to fertility defects in its absence.

The paper investigates how transcriptional states and KRAB-ZFPs regulate DNA methylation of retroelements in human male germ cells, revealing inter-individual epigenetic variation in sperm.

The paper compares magnetic beads for CUT&Tag, finding that MyOne-T1 beads improve sensitivity due to better suspendability.

This study identifies Hero proteins as heat-resistant proteins that stabilize other proteins and prevent aggregation, extending lifespan in Drosophila.
