A new in vitro system called Rec-Seq sheds light on how mRNA molecules compete for the machinery that translates their genetic sequence into proteins.

NMR spectroscopy, dCypher assays, and CUT&RUN demonstrate that occlusion of the histone tails in the nucleosome context alters histone PTM specificity for a tandem of reader domains.

Larger phylogenetic context is required to understand human and nonhuman primate brain evolution.

Fission yeast loses its heterochromatin stability at mating-type locus under high temperature due to compromised binding between heterochromatin protein Swi6^HP1 and Atf1.

A novel family of nucleolus-enriched ncRNAs forms allele-specific territories on the nucleolar organizing region (NOR)-containing acrocentric chromosomes.

Replication origins in yeast are more widespread than previously believed.

MukBEF selectively loads onto newly replicated DNA, and MatP prevents MukBEF activity, correlating with matS sites, likely due to MatP-mediated unloading.
