Evidence that enhancer strength determines the extent of random monoallelic gene expression, and that even lineage defining genes thought to be expressed by all cells in a lineage display some degree of random monoallelic expression.
A genome-organizing protein that is present only in the olfactory system of mice has been found to orchestrate changes in the relative numbers of different odor-sensing neurons on the basis of how active these neurons are.
E3 ubiquitin ligase Bre1-induced H2B monoubiquitination is epigenetically important for recruiting replication factor Mcm10 and cohesion establishment factors Ctf4, Ctf18 and Eco1 to early replication origins to establish sister chromatid cohesion.

The independent effects of transcription factor binding sites are large regardless of sequence context, but the interactions between sites are context dependent.
Molecular analyses and unbiased CRISPR screens reveal that extensive end resection occurs in quiescent cells after inducing DNA double strand breaks, in a manner dependent on DNA-PK.

A novel family of nucleolus-enriched ncRNAs forms allele-specific territories on the nucleolar organizing region (NOR)-containing acrocentric chromosomes.
