    Gene-specific mechanisms direct glucocorticoid-receptor-driven repression of inflammatory response genes in macrophages

    Maria A Sacta, Bowranigan Tharmalingam ... Inez Rogatsky
    A comprehensive analysis of the glucocorticoid-sensitive pro-inflammatory genes in macrophages reveals fundamental differences between the temporal events and components of transcriptional machinery that the glucocorticoid receptor targets to repress their transcription.

    Many si/shRNAs can kill cancer cells by targeting multiple survival genes through an off-target mechanism

    William Putzbach, Quan Q Gao ... Marcus E Peter
    Loading of CD95 and CD95L-derived sequences into the RNA-induced silencing complex elicits a distinct form of RNAi-mediated cell death of cancer cells that results from the targeting of multiple survival genes.

    Hypothalamic transcriptomes of 99 mouse strains reveal trans eQTL hotspots, splicing QTLs and novel non-coding genes

    Yehudit Hasin-Brumshtein, Arshad H Khan ... Desmond J Smith
    In depth characterization of gene expression in the mouse hypothalamus will facilitate understanding of the molecular pathways that affect metabolic traits and discovers new genes associated with these pathways.

    The transcription factor Pou3f1 promotes neural fate commitment via activation of neural lineage genes and inhibition of external signaling pathways

    Qingqing Zhu, Lu Song ... Naihe Jing
    The transcription factor Pou3f1 triggers embryonic stem cells to become neuronal progenitor cells in two ways: by activating the expression of pro-neuronal genes and by blocking external inhibitory signaling cascades.

    Positive selection and relaxed purifying selection contribute to rapid evolution of male-biased genes in a dioecious flowering plant

    Lei Zhao, Wei Zhou ... Hong-Tao Li
    Computational analyses, for the first time in plants, reveal how male-biased genes evolve faster than female-biased and unbiased genes.

    Combinations of Spok genes create multiple meiotic drivers in Podospora

    Aaron A Vogan, S Lorena Ament-Velásquez ... Hanna Johannesson
    Members of a single gene family determine the genomic basis of multiple coexisting meiotic drive elements in natural populations of Podospora.

    The genomes of polyextremophilic cyanidiales contain 1% horizontally transferred genes with diverse adaptive functions

    Alessandro W Rossoni, Dana C Price ... Andreas PM Weber
    Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) analysis in polyextremophile red algae (Cyanidiales) provides explanations for the nonexistence of cumulative effects and eukaryotic pangenomes, and highlights differences between HGT and native genes.

    Genome-wide identification of neuronal activity-regulated genes in Drosophila

    Xiao Chen, Reazur Rahman ... Michael Rosbash
    Activity-regulated genes in Drosophila neurons differ from the well-characterized situation in mammals, and these genes provided a strategy to construct reporters for monitoring neuronal activity in fly brains.

    Effects of smoking on genome-wide DNA methylation profiles: A study of discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs

    Jenny van Dongen, Gonneke Willemsen ... Michael C Neale
    Analysis of data from monozygotic twins reveals that DNA methylation level in human blood cells is reactive to cigarette smoking.

    The TRRAP transcription cofactor represses interferon-stimulated genes in colorectal cancer cells

    Dylane Detilleux, Peggy Raynaud ... Dominique Helmlinger
    A transcriptional coactivator turns into a repressor at specific genes in colorectal cancer cells.
