The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Alvinella pompejana and analyzes its gene content to understand adaptations to extreme environments.

The paper shows that ATR and DDK control TopBP1-mediated locking of dormant origins at the pre-IC stage, with compensation involving both passive and active processes.

The paper introduces an R package that automatically generates Oxford grids from genomic files to visualize macrosynteny between species.

This study shows FMRP prevents chromosome fragility by reducing R-loop formation and identifies novel FXS-susceptible genes.

The paper shows that transcription suppresses replication initiation in large genes, leading to delayed replication and instability at common fragile sites.
