    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.

    A TOPBP1 allele causing male infertility uncouples XY silencing dynamics from sex body formation

    Carolline Ascenção, Jennie R Sims ... Marcus B Smolka
    A Topbp1 mutant mouse reveals a non-canonical role for the ATR-TOPBP1 signaling axis in meiosis, separating ATR signaling and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation from sex body formation.

    Translation: It’s a competitive business

    Masaaki Sokabe, Christopher S Fraser
    A new in vitro system called Rec-Seq sheds light on how mRNA molecules compete for the machinery that translates their genetic sequence into proteins.

    Nucleosome conformation dictates the histone code

    Matthew R Marunde, Harrison A Fuchs ... Catherine A Musselman
    NMR spectroscopy, dCypher assays, and CUT&RUN demonstrate that occlusion of the histone tails in the nucleosome context alters histone PTM specificity for a tandem of reader domains.

    Tempo and mode of gene expression evolution in the brain across primates

    Katherine Rickelton, Trisha M Zintel ... Courtney C Babbitt
    Larger phylogenetic context is required to understand human and nonhuman primate brain evolution.
