The paper identifies Nvj1 orthologs across diverse yeast lineages and shows functional divergence in NVJ formation and sequence motifs.

The paper identifies ALDH9A1 deficiency as a source of endogenous DNA damage that requires FA pathway repair, leading to genomic instability and tumorigenesis in FA-deficient cells.

This study shows that TRF2 tetramerization forms t-loops, protecting telomeres from ATM signaling and cNHEJ by sequestering telomere ends.
