Many of the features associated with senescence appear steadily over time before cells stop dividing.

A transcriptional coactivator turns into a repressor at specific genes in colorectal cancer cells.

Genome-wide analyses reveal how tumor-associated mutations of the Fbw7 ubiquitin ligase impact oncogenic transcription factors and gene expression.

Transcription and epigenetic memory of transcription are two co-occurring independent pathways, governed by different rate constants and unique parameters.

The deposition of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine epigenetic marks in active genes promotes the annealing of the nascent RNA to the template DNA strand, forming an R-loop.

A combination of single-cell analysis, genomics, and simulations shows that a glutamine-rich low-complexity sequence in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex senses transient intracellular acidification as a signal for cells to switch their global transcriptional program.

Allele-specific gene expression can affect the results and interpretation of transcriptomic analyses in zebrafish mutants and has broader implications for work in other outbred organisms.

Adenine and cytosine base editing of highly homologous HBG proximal promoter identifies novel target sites that result in adult to fetal globin switching without causing 4.9 kb large deletions.

Pioneering activity may be a property of all transcription factors with sufficient affinity for their targets rather than a property of specific classes of transcription factors.

Double-stranded precursors of siRNAs involved in RNA-directed DNA methylation have initiating sequences and overhangs imparted by the RNA polymerases that synthesize them, programming alternative dicing reactions that diversify the siRNA pool.
