There are fundamental limits to what can be learned about the origins of transcriptional noise from gene expression data alone, which can be overcome by simultaneously quantifying the abundances of linked molecular species.

Using a yeast model of quiescence, it was demonstrated that dramatic changes in local chromatin fiber folding can occur under physiological conditions to regulate cellular processes.

Cytological analyses combined with in vitro liposome reconstitution reveal that yeast SUN domain protein, Mps3, shows meiosis-specific phosphorylation in the luminal region of the nuclear envelope during meiosis for chromosome motion and nuclear envelope remodelling.

Sirtuin, Hst4 is a novel DDK kinase target, which is modified and degraded in response to replication stress, increasing H3K56 acetylation, to stabilize DNA replication forks via fork protection complex which maintains genome stability and has potential in cancer therapeutics.

The in vivo transcriptomic fingerprint encoding defective decidualization comprises 120 genes associated with an imbalance hormonal signaling in the decidual endometria of women who developed severe preeclampsia.

Accurate identification and quantification of various circRNA isoforms.

Topoisomerase IV and the ter-binding protein MatP competitively bind the hinge domain of the Escherichia coli Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes complex, MukB, leading to spatiotemporal regulation of MukBEF-topoisomerase IV activity.

A viable separation of function XRCC4 knock-in mutant mouse model recapitulates some aspects of XRCC4 deficiency in humans, notably the absence of immune deficiency.

Genetic and biochemical analyses reveal that two stem-cell-specific microRNAs control stem cell fate decisions between pluripotency and differentiation through repressing Ago2, a key component of the microRNA machinery.

The 3'HS1 CTCF binding site directly modulates chromosomal loops to regulate γ-globin expression through the accession of the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin enhancer.
