A new role for Endonuclease G with respect to the generation of mtDNA deletions is identified, which is dependent on the formation of G4 DNA within human mitochondria.

A family of homing genetic elements that look like inteins but work differently is the progenitor of the endonuclease that enables Saccharomyces cerevisiae to change its mating type.

MBLAC1 is an endoribonuclease specific for replication dependent histone pre-mRNA processing during S-phase and may represent a new type of cancer target.

Structures of the replicative DNA polymerase Pol IIIα, the DNA sliding clamp, the proofreading exonuclease, and the processivity switch Tau (τ) suggest a mechanism for quick release during lagging strand synthesis.

In Drosophila, genomic CRISPR/Cas9 expression necessary for CRISPR-based gene drives harbors fitness costs presumably caused by off-target effects, which can be minimized by using a high-fidelity version of Cas9.
Structure specific nucleases that act in DNA replication, repair and recombination actively mold their DNA while transforming their own structure to achieve precise cleavage of their cognate DNA and avoid the deleterious cleavage of noncognate DNA.

Crosslink immunopreciptiation (iCLIP) studies reveal important mechanistic insights into how MARF1 post-transcriptionally regulates targeted mRNAs and uncover a novel mode by which EDC4 regulates mRNA metabolism.
Myc expression is shown to cause sublethal activation of Caspase-3 and downstream endonuclease G, which causes DNA double strand breaks and oncogenic transformation in human cells.
