This study uses cryo-electron tomography to reveal the dynamic chromatin architecture of archaea, showing variable hypernucleosome structures and growth-phase-dependent organization.

This study identifies reverse gyrase's role in preventing genome instability in hyperthermophiles by suppressing AT-rich gene clustering and DNA melting associated with horizontal gene transfer.

This study shows that the archaeal histone HTkC forms highly compact DNA structures, doubling the compaction level of hypernucleosomes and highlighting its role in chromatin organization.

This study shows that an archaeal SMC complex forms TAD-like domains and is stalled by TrmBL2, with stalling efficiency linked to DNA structure.
