The DNA damage checkpoint pathway promotes extensive resection and nucleotide synthesis to facilitate homologous recombination repair and genome stability in fission yeast. [PDF]
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can cause chromosomal rearrangements and extensive loss of heterozygosity (LOH), hallmarks of cancer cells. Yet, how such events are normally suppressed is unclear.

Neurological disorders are heterogeneous and sometimes challenging to diagnose. Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) panels and exome sequencing methods are increasingly advocated as first‐tier genetic investigations. In this retrospective, single‐centre, register‐based study, we investigated the use of NGS‐based investigations in the diagnostics of adult ...

Identification of expression profiles and prognostic value of RFCs in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most prevalent cancers globally, with its incidence closely tied to DNA damage. The Replication Factor C (RFC) complexes comprises five protein subunits: RFC1, RFC2, RFC3, RFC4, and RFC5.

ATRX: From Chromatin Remodeling to Disease
ABSTRACT Chromatin remodeling proteins are evolutionarily conserved factors involved in a wide range of biological processes. In this review, we describe ATRX, a chromatin remodeling protein belonging to the SWI/SNF2 family. Its association with different protein complexes, and its roles in embryonic development, sexual differentiation, as well as ...

A biallelic pentanucleotide expansion in the RFC1 gene has been reported to be a common cause of late-onset ataxia. In the general population, four different repeat conformations are observed: wild type sequence AAAAG (11 repeats) and longer expansions ...

Fission yeast strains with circular chromosomes require the 9-1-1 checkpoint complex for the viability in response to the anti-cancer drug 5-fluorodeoxyuridine [PDF]
Thymidine kinase converts 5-fluorodeoxyuridine to 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate, which causes disruption of deoxynucleotide triphosphate ratios.

IPCC reasons for concern regarding climate change risks [PDF]
The reasons for concern framework communicates scientific understanding about risks in relation to varying levels of climate change. The framework, now a cornerstone of the IPCC assessments, aggregates global risks into five categories as a function of ...

The Adaptive Significance of Natural Genetic Variation in the DNA Damage Response of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Despite decades of work, our understanding of the distribution of fitness effects of segregating genetic variants in natural populations remains largely incomplete. One form of selection that can maintain genetic variation is spatially varying selection,
