    TPR is required for cytoplasmic chromatin fragment formation during senescence

    Bethany M Bartlett, Yatendra Kumar ... Wendy A Bickmore
    Evidence is provided suggesting that heterochromatin re-organisation during cell senescence can compromise the structural integrity of the nucleus, leading to activation of an inflammatory process.

    The emergence and evolution of gene expression in genome regions replete with regulatory motifs

    Timothy Fuqua, Yiqiao Sun, Andreas Wagner
    Mutagenizing sequences enriched with promoter motifs creates gene expression de novo, and helps to understand promoter logic, regulatory evolution, and the birth of de novo genes.

    N-terminus of Drosophila melanogaster MSL1 is critical for dosage compensation

    Valentin Babosha, Natalia Klimenko ... Oksana Maksimenko
    N‑terminus of MSL1 protein, involved in dosage compensation in Drosophila, is required for the interaction with non-coding roX2 RNA and the assembly of the complex on the male X chromosome.
