    TGF-β reduces DNA ds-break repair mechanisms to heighten genetic diversity and adaptability of CD44+/CD24− cancer cells

    Debjani Pal, Anja Pertot ... Raffaella Sordella
    Phenotypic diversity and cell state transition (i.e., acquisition of a CD44+/CD24- cell state or exposure to TGF-beta) can spur intra-tumor genetic heterogeneity and contribute to acquired resistance.

    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.

    Crispant analysis in zebrafish as a tool for rapid functional screening of disease-causing genes for bone fragility

    Sophie Debaenst, Tamara Jarayseh ... Andy Willaert
    Crispant analysis in zebrafish serves as a powerful tool for the rapid functional screening of genes implicated in bone fragility disorders, like osteogenesis imperfecta and osteoporosis.

    Functional genomics of lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

    Samuel T Coradetti, Dominic Pinel ... Jeffrey M Skerker
    Using barcoded mutagenesis and a high-throughput genetic screen results in the identification of 150 genes that affect lipid accumulation in a non-model yeast system.

    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.

    A confinable home-and-rescue gene drive for population modification

    Nikolay P Kandul, Junru Liu ... Omar S Akbari
    Generation of a home-and-rescue gene drive targeting an essential gene reveals confinable population modification.

    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.

    Template switching during DNA replication is a prevalent source of adaptive gene amplification

    Julie N Chuong, Nadav Ben Nun ... David Gresham
    Template switching during DNA replication is a frequent source of adaptive gene amplification.
