Molecular control of replication licensing speed by c-MYC

Dalia Fleifel, Abid Ali Khan, Abdalla A Alkhawaja, Arthi Adavikolanu, Sidra Qayyum, Eiman Elkoumy, Jeanette Gowen Cook

This study identifies c-MYC as a non-canonical origin licensing accelerator, showing it increases licensing speed through TRRAP/GCN5 and histone H1 eviction, particularly in heterochromatin.

Liver single-nucleus multiome profiling reveals cell-type mechanisms for cardiometabolic traits

Abdalla A Alkhawaja, Kevin W. Currin, Hannah J. Perrin, Swarooparani Vadlamudi, Amy S. Etheridge, K. Alaine Broadaway, Gabrielle Heather Cannon, Carlton W. Anderson, Anne H. Moxley, Alina Cornelia Iuga, Erin G. Schuetz, F. Innocenti, Terrence S. Furey, Karen L. Mohlke

The paper uses single-nucleus multiome sequencing to identify cell-type-specific regulatory mechanisms for cardiometabolic traits by integrating QTLs and GWAS signals.
