This study shows that high spontaneous aneuploidy rates, not drug-induced mutations, drive fluconazole resistance in yeast through chromosome duplication at ERG11.

This paper compares rRNA removal methods for RNA-seq in halophilic archaea, finding that probe-specificity is critical for effective rRNA depletion and improved transcript detection.

This study identifies HpyA, an archaeal histone-like protein, as a transcriptional regulator that modulates gene expression in response to salt stress in Halobacterium salinarum.
