    Deficient spermiogenesis in mice lacking Rlim

    Feng Wang, Maria Gracia Gervasi ... Ingolf Bach
    Genetic analyses in mice identifies Rlim in the spermatogenic cell lineage as a regulator of cytoplasmic reduction during spermiogenesis.

    Maternal H3K36 and H3K27 HMTs protect germline development via regulation of the transcription factor LIN-15B

    Chad Steven Cockrum, Susan Strome
    The H3K36 and H3K27 histone methyltransferases MES-4 and PRC2 protect survival of the nascent germline in Caenorhabditis elegans by repressing expression of X-linked genes, including the key transcription factor LIN-15B.

    Free-living human cells reconfigure their chromosomes in the evolution back to uni-cellularity

    Jin Xu, Xinxin Peng ... Chung-I Wu
    Human cell lines regress to become ‘de-sexualized’ by reconfiguring to a 2:3 X/A ratio of high fitness, thus shedding light on the evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes.

    Defective memory engram reactivation underlies impaired fear memory recall in Fragile X syndrome

    Jie Li, Rena Y Jiang ... Lu Chen
    Activity-dependent genetic labeling during behavioral learning shows Fragile-X syndrome model mice exhibit impaired hippocampal engram reactivation, and that enriched environment experience improves fear memory retrieval by enhancing engram reactivation efficacy.

    The rapidly evolving X-linked MIR-506 family fine-tunes spermatogenesis to enhance sperm competition

    Zhuqing Wang, Yue Wang ... Wei Yan
    The rapidly evolving X-linked MIR-506 family miRNAs function to enhance sperm competitiveness and male reproductive fitness in mice.

    Polycomb-mediated repression of paternal chromosomes maintains haploid dosage in diploid embryos of Marchantia

    Sean Akira Montgomery, Tetsuya Hisanaga ... Frédéric Berger
    Genomic imprinting in the bryophyte Marchantia polymorpha by Polycomb results in maternal dominance of embryonic gene expression.

    Chromosome-wide mechanisms to decouple gene expression from gene dose during sex-chromosome evolution

    Bayly S Wheeler, Erika Anderson ... Barbara J Meyer
    A chromosome-wide mechanism balances X-linked gene expression between the sexes in C. elegans, but no similar chromosome-wide mechanism balances gene expression between X chromosomes and autosomes.

    GAF is essential for zygotic genome activation and chromatin accessibility in the early Drosophila embryo

    Marissa M Gaskill, Tyler J Gibson ... Melissa M Harrison
    Following fertilization, the pioneering transcription factors GAGA factor (GAF) and Zelda are independently required to reprogram the zygotic genome of Drosophila and activate the first wave of gene expression.

    Chromosome structure in Drosophila is determined by boundary pairing not loop extrusion

    Xinyang Bing, Wenfan Ke ... James B Jaynes
    Boundary:boundary pairing interactions drive TAD formation in Drosophila.

    Transgenerational dynamics of rDNA copy number in Drosophila male germline stem cells

    Kevin L Lu, Jonathan O Nelson ... Yukiko M Yamashita
    rDNA copy number is shown to dynamically change during aging and through generations, and is actively maintained in male germline of Drosophila.
