Upon genotoxic stress, the FBXL10-RNF68-RNF2 ubiquitin ligase complex mono-ubiquitylates histone H2A and mediates H2A/H2A.Z exchange to repress transcription and ensures proper high fidelity homologous recombination repair.

RNA molecules cause the proteins involved in the formation of germ granules to coalesce into liquid droplets.

Structures known as chromocenters, comprising satellite DNA and proteins such as D1 or HMGA1, help to contain DNA inside the nucleus between cell divisions.

The discovery of a biomolecular condensate involved in DNA replication has wide ranging implications.

An artificially evolved ribozyme can catalyse the synthesis of RNA by using trinucleotide triphosphates as building blocks.

Some RNAs in mammalian cells can help to silence the DNA they are transcribed from.

DNA methylation deposition is dependent on the presence of H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 histone marks.

In rotaviruses, the selective packaging of eleven distinct genomic RNA segments requires virus-encoded protein NSP2 to alter the RNA structures, facilitating their interactions with each other.

The discovery of a mechanism that causes DNA deletions during non-canonical DNA replication termination is described.

The host-derived factors, pp32 and APRIL, interact with influenza viral RNA polymerase to support viral genomic RNA synthesis from complementary RNA.
