   WRN and WRNIP1 ATPases impose high fidelity on translesion synthesis by Y-family DNA polymerases

   Jung Hoon Yoon, Karthi Sellamuthu ... Satya Prakash

   WRN and WRNP1 ATPases together with WRN 3’ to 5’ exonuclease raise the fidelity of intrinsically highly error-prone Y-family DNA polymerases such that they perform error-free translesion synthesis.

   DNA methylation insulates genic regions from CTCF loops near nuclear speckles

   Shelby A Roseman, Allison P Siegenfeld ... Brian B Liau

   CTCF binding promotes chromatin-nuclear speckle interactions and gene activation after DNA demethylation, yet its binding and looping patterns are unaffected by speckle depletion.

   Gene expression variation across genetically identical individuals predicts reproductive traits

   Amy K Webster, John H Willis ... Patrick C Phillips

   Differences among genetically identical individuals can be explained using expression levels of just a handful of genes, suggesting that environmental variation can be functionally analyzed.

   NAB2-STAT6 drives an EGR1-dependent neuroendocrine program in solitary fibrous tumors

   Connor Hill, Alexandra Indeglia ... Alessandro Gardini

   Molecular profiling with omics approaches reveals the resemblance between neuroendocrine malignancies and solitary fibrous tumors, rare soft tissue cancers with no effective treatment options.

   Heterozygous variants in PLCG1 affect hearing, vision, cardiac, and immune function

   Mengqi Ma, Yiming Zheng ... Undiagnosed Diseases Network

   Clinical, genetic, and model organism data collectively define PLCG1 as a disease-associated gene with diverse missense variants contributing to phenotypic heterogeneity.

    ZC3H11A mutations cause high myopia by triggering PI3K-AKT and NF-κB-mediated signaling pathway in humans and mice

    Chong Chen, Qian Liu ... Xinting Liu

    The unbiased genetic screening and animal model experiments have characterized a new candidate pathogenic gene associated with high myopia, providing a potential therapeutic intervention target for controlling the disease.
