Endothelial cells in the heart have transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of cardiomyocytes.

Hypersensitivity of cohesin-deficient cells to Wnt signaling is concomitant with beta catenin stabilization and offers promise that Wnt agonists could be therapeutically effective in cohesin mutant cancers.

The disordered C-terminal tail allows XRCC4-like factor (XLF) to find and bind the XRCC4-Lig4 complex, enabling DNA end synapsis and subsequent ligation during non-homologous end joining.

The cryo-EM structure of the human transcription-export THO–UAP56 complex reveals mechanisms of mRNA nuclear export licensing.

A novel single-molecule sequencing method reveals previously unappreciated heterogeneity in nucleosome positioning on individual chromatin fibers across the human genome.

Infection of human cells by influenza A virus induces changes in the alternative splicing of host genes that, in turn, promote viral replication.

A resource of p63-regulated genes, genomic loci bound by p63, p63 DNA recognition motifs, and potential co-factors is generated through a meta-analysis of high-throughput datasets.

Inhibition of the lysine methyltransferase G9a blocks oncogenic phenotypes in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Nucleosome binding by PRC2 threads H3K27 into its active site via an interaction network set in register by unmodified H3K36.

The structural maintenance of chromosomes complex, SMC5/6, is crucial for brain development and function as it ensures proficient DNA replication in neural progenitor cells prior to chromosome segregation.
