Transcriptomic analyses of Malabar grouper show pathways known to be involved in metamorphosis are also upregulated at an early stage of larval development, suggesting an additional function during early development.

Boundary:boundary pairing interactions drive TAD formation in Drosophila.

Boundary:boundary pairing generates either stem-loop or circle-loop TADs, and these loop topologies differ in how they impact chromosome structure and genetic activities.

Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.

DDX6 triggers inefficiently translated mRNA decay by interacting with the ribosome through its FDF motif via the 5'-3' mRNA decay pathway.

When exposed to high-dose ionizing radiation, tardigrades undergo extensive DNA damage, like humans, but cope by stimulating expression of DNA repair proteins and of TDR1, a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein.

High-resolution mapping of RNA polymerase II transcripts shows that the directionality of mammalian promoters is determined by preferential transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of Integrator and CDK9.
