This study identifies a unique condensed 3D chromatin structure of rDNA in quiescent yeast cells and shows that Sir2 is essential for maintaining this structure and proper quiescence transitions.

This study identifies ATF7IP2 as a critical regulator of H3K9 methylation and meiotic gene regulation in male germline, showing its role in heterochromatin organization and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation.

This study investigates how 3D chromatin organization changes during human endothelial cell differentiation and links these changes to gene expression and transcriptional regulation.

This study identifies endogenous retroviruses as drivers of species-specific germline transcriptomes in mammals, particularly through their role in gene activation and enhancer function in spermatogenesis.

The paper shows that super-enhancer switching drives bursts in germline gene expression during the mitosis-to-meiosis transition in testis.
