MYC Binding Near Transcriptional End Sites Regulates Basal Gene Expression, Read-Through Transcription, and Intragenic Contacts. [PDF]
MYC is a transcription factor (TF) that binds DNA near transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and within enhancer elements. Here, unappreciated sites of MYC binding in the vicinity of transcriptional end sites (TESs) of many genes in multiple cell types in association with numerous other TFs are described previously.

Induction of SOX17 with stimulation of WNT, TGF-beta, and FGF signaling drives embryonal carcinomas into the yolk-sac tumor lineage resulting in increased cisplatin resistance. [PDF]
What's new? Yolk‐sac tumor formation has been suggested to be an escape mechanism during therapy in patients with relapsing germ cell tumors. The molecular mechanisms inducing yolk‐sac tumor development from stem cell‐like precursor embryonal carcinomas remain unclear.

Optimized protocols for ChIP-seq and deletion mutant construction in Pseudomonas syringae
Summary: Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) is an efficient technique to identify the binding sites of transcription factors (TFs) in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. However, its application in bacteria is very heterogeneous.

Deciphering the code for retroviral integration target site selection. [PDF]
Upon cell invasion, retroviruses generate a DNA copy of their RNA genome and integrate retroviral cDNA within host chromosomal DNA. Integration occurs throughout the host cell genome, but target site selection is not random.

Endogenous topoisomerase II-mediated DNA breaks drive thymic cancer predisposition linked to ATM deficiency [PDF]
The ATM kinase is a master regulator of the DNA damage response to double-strand breaks (DSBs) and a well-established tumour suppressor whose loss is the cause of the neurodegenerative and cancer-prone syndrome Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T).

Transcriptome Analysis of Targeted Mouse Mutations Reveals the Topography of Local Changes in Gene Expression. [PDF]
The unintended consequences of gene targeting in mouse models have not been thoroughly studied and a more systematic analysis is needed to understand the frequency and characteristics of off-target effects.
