mSTARR-seq identifies regions of the genome where DNA methylation causally impacts gene expression, providing a map of which epigenetic marks may influence trait variation.

The optimal macronutrient composition, macronutrient space, varies strongly between closely related species and is determined by genetic changes in regulatory genes that globally reprogram gene expression profiles of metabolic pathways.

The CtIP DNA repair enzyme is required for the removal of transcription-associated lesions in eukaryotic cells.

mTORC1 inhibition by perinatal ER stress induces beta-cell growth arrest with subsequent development of diabetes.

Selfish genetic elements may either promote or prevent the evolution of reproductive barriers, depending on the extent of gene flow between species.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi generate nuclear diversity in the dikaryotic life-stage stage via inter-nucleus recombination.

Alternative splicing provides a mechanism to maintain oscillations of the circadian clock.

A new technology for obtaining aged yeast cells helps reveal a striking connection between aging, slow growth, and stress.

A new device for isolating large quantities of old yeast cells expands the experimental boundaries of aging research.

The evolution columbine genus involved frequent mixing between incipient species, and one chromosome appears to have taken its own path.
