    Gene editing and scalable functional genomic screening in Leishmania species using the CRISPR/Cas9 cytosine base editor toolbox LeishBASEedit

    Markus Engstler, Tom Beneke
    LeishBASEedit enables gene editing in Leishmania without requiring DNA double-strand breaks, homologous recombination, or donor DNA, thereby facilitating loss-of-function screens via delivery of plasmid libraries and regardless of limitations due to gene copy number variations and/or lack of RNAi components.

    Beta human papillomavirus 8E6 promotes alternative end joining

    Changkun Hu, Taylor Bugbee ... Nicholas Wallace
    Human papillomavirus type 8 E6 promotes alternative end joining by compromising non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination.

    Senataxin and RNase H2 act redundantly to suppress genome instability during class switch recombination

    Hongchang Zhao, Stella R Hartono ... Jacqueline Barlow
    Genetic analysis of senataxin and RNase H2-deficient mice reveals that genome stability during class switch recombination and antibody generation can be uncoupled, suggesting a role for R loop metabolism dysfunction in lymphomagenesis in patients without immune deficiency.

    5′-Modifications improve potency and efficacy of DNA donors for precision genome editing

    Krishna S Ghanta, Zexiang Chen ... Craig C Mello
    Chemically modifying the 5´ends of donor DNA improves the efficiency of homology-directed repair and suppresses end-joining reactions, which will facilitate precise gene editing.

    The human origin recognition complex is essential for pre-RC assembly, mitosis, and maintenance of nuclear structure

    Hsiang-Chen Chou, Kuhulika Bhalla ... Bruce Stillman
    The initiation of human genome replication requires the six-subunit origin recognition complex (ORC) and CDC6, with ORC playing additional roles during mitosis and in organization of the cell nucleus.
