    Epigenetics: Linking environmental factors and gene regulation

    Signe Penner-Goeke, Elisabeth B Binder
    A technique called mSTARR-seq sheds light on how DNA methylation may shape responses to external stimuli by altering the activity of sequences that control gene expression.

    Dynamic 1D search and processive nucleosome translocations by RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers

    Jee Min Kim, Claudia C Carcamo ... Carl Wu
    Single-particle imaging of RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers on DNA stretched between dual optical tweezers reveals distinctive 1D diffusion and opposing push–pull nucleosome translocation on engagement with sparse nucleosome arrays.

    Chromatin Remodeling: The voyage is as important as the harbor

    Anton Sabantsev, Sebastian Deindl
    To find nucleosomes, chromatin remodelers slide and hop along DNA, and their direction of approach affects the direction that nucleosomes slide in.

    Inhibition of Cpeb3 ribozyme elevates CPEB3 protein expression and polyadenylation of its target mRNAs and enhances object location memory

    Claire C Chen, Joseph Han ... Andrej Luptak
    The mammalian CPEB3 self-cleaving ribozyme modulates expression of the CPEB3 mRNA and protein, altering translation of plasticity-related proteins and hippocampus-dependent memory.

    Control of meiotic entry by dual inhibition of a key mitotic transcription factor

    Amanda J Su, Siri C Yendluri, Elçin Ünal
    Investigation of how cells rewire their transcriptional programs during transition from mitotic to meiotic cell fate reveals a two-pronged mechanism for inactivating a key mitotic transcription factor.

    DNA methylation-environment interactions in the human genome

    Rachel A Johnston, Katherine A Aracena ... Jenny Tung
    A massively parallel reporter assay, mSTARR-seq, reveals widespread DNA methylation-environment interactions across the genome, prioritizing CpG sites identified in epigenome-wide association studies that may be most relevant to biological embedding.
