   Xist RNA binds select autosomal genes and depends on Repeat B to regulate their expression

   Shengze Yao, Yesu Jeon ... Jeannie T Lee

   Xist RNA’s influence extends beyond the X-chromosome and its autosomal influence can be perturbed genetically and pharmacologically.

   Upstream open reading frames buffer translational variability during Drosophila evolution and development

   Yuanqiang Sun, Yuange Duan ... Jian Lu

   Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) function as regulatory elements that buffer translation variability, stabilizing protein expression across animal developmental stages and evolutionary timescales.
