The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase complex in budding yeast is highly conserved, yet reconfigured with respect to its mammalian counterpart and has both m6A-dependent and m6A-independent functions.

The regulation of gene expression can be either binary (on/off digital regulation) or graded (analog regulation) and these fundamentally different regulatory modes can be integrated to control the expression of the same gene.

The lysine/glutamic acid/arginine region in chromatin assembly factor (CAF-1) forms a long single alpha-helix DNA-binding domain, facilitating the recognition of tetrasome-length DNA and linking functional domains within the CAF-1 architecture for efficient tetrasome assembly after DNA synthesis.

Overlapping DNA-binding specificity allows global transcription factors to cooperatively bind the same DNA sites and integrate two signals in the control of gene expression.
Live-cell single-molecule imaging of DNA repair factors can be used to analyze their localization to DNA lesions and dissect the hierarchy of their recruitment.

Post-transcriptional regulation of Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) through alternative polyadenylation of its mRNA determines miRNA influence and is a feature of cell cycle-specific AURKA expression whose impairment leads to acquisition of cancer phenotypes.
