Functional and mechanistic analysis of p53-regulated lncRNA PINCR and its interacting RNA-binding protein Matrin 3 uncovers context-dependent regulation of specific p53 target genes during DNA damage.
The ~20,000 origins of replication in human cell lines that are reproducibly identified by multiple techniques in multiple cell lines are distant from known origin recognition complex and MCM2-7-binding sites.

Genes with parent-of-origin specific expression are not as numerous as previously reported and validated parentally-biased expressed genes tend to be peripheral to known imprinted domains indicating shared regional control.

A large-scale transcription factor screen reveals over twenty novel adipogenic regulators: most notably ZEB1, which exerts essential transcriptional control of fat cell differentiation.
The HOXA9 reporter and genetic screens facilitated the functional interrogation of the HOXA9 regulome and advanced our understanding of the molecular regulation network in HOXA9-driven leukemia.
ZCWPW1 has co-evolved with PRDM9, in particular the PRDM9-SET domain, and although not involved in PRDM9's role in positioning recombination events, it is required for PRDM9's role in pairing chromosomes.

259 CpGs associated with season of conception in rural Gambians constitute a valuable resource for investigating epigenetic mechanisms linking early exposures to lifelong health and disease.
An enhancer-dependent transcriptional machinery finely tunes the expression of Ctnnb1 in intestinal crypts, thereby balancing homeostasis and tumorigenesis of intestinal epithelia.
