The identification of a SUMO E3 ligase engaged in lncRNA transcription, subsequently leading to target-directed small RNA degradation, reveals an unexplored layer of regulatory mechanisms within small RNA-directed chromatin regulation.

A broad, live imaging-based survey of intrinsic protein disorder in Drosophila transcription factors reveals a limited role for their contribution to the protein clustering observed at enhancers.

Mitochondrial RNAs attach to chromatin and regulate nuclear transcription in endothelial stress response.

The binding of transcription factors to mesoscale chromatin fibers leads to microdomains whose features are dependent on the linker DNA length, linker histone density, and tail acetylation levels.

SCA-seq enables simultaneous detection of spatial interactions, chromatin accessibility, and CpG methylation at single-molecule resolution, advancing multi-omics studies of genome spatial organization.

In vivo and in vitro characterization demonstrates a direct interaction of Dbp5 with tRNA that requires Gle1 to spatially activate the Dbp5 ATPase cycle for tRNA export in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Biochemical, molecular, and genetic analyses show that in Drosophila the epigenetic enzyme TET does not demethylate 6mA, which is scarce in the genome, but rather acts in a catalytic-independent manner.
