Chromosome segregation in a minimal bacterial cell driven by SMC protein complexes
Abstract Minimal bacterial cells such as JCVI‐Syn3A provide a powerful system for uncovering the essential mechanisms of chromosome organization and segregation. Lacking canonical systems such as Min and ParABS, JCVI‐Syn3A relies primarily on structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes for partitioning.

Pitfalls and missing links in current understanding of 4D genomes
Abstract The spatial and temporal organization of the genome—collectively termed the 4D genome—is pivotal for regulating gene expression, maintaining genome stability, and guiding development. The convergence of chromosome conformation capture technologies, super‐resolution microscopy, and single‐cell epigenomics has transformed our understanding of ...

Phenotypic and genetic resistance to Septoria blotch disease in European wheat varieties
Abstract Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB), poses a critical threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in temperate Europe, underscoring the need for durable genetic resistance. Here, we screened 151 winter wheat varieties at the seedling stage using a mixed inoculum of five virulent isolates.

Loss of SMARCAD1 Mitigates Tauopathy
Using genetics approaches in a C. elegans transgenic model of tauopathy, we uncover a role for the homolog of human SMARCAD1, a regulator of chromatin dynamics. ABSTRACT Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the accumulation of misfolded tau protein and include Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia disorders.
