The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Smoking affects gene expression in blood of patients with ischemic stroke. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveThough cigarette smoking (CS) is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS), there is no data on how CS affects the blood transcriptome in IS patients.MethodsWe recruited IS-current smokers (IS-SM), IS-never smokers (IS-NSM), control ...

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved histone methyltransferase complex, plays a central role in transcriptional silencing across eukaryotes. Here, we investigate the evolution of PWWP‐DOMAIN INTERACTORS OF POLYCOMBS (PWOs), which interact with PRC2, and examine the conservation of the PWOs‐PRC2 interaction across plant ...

DNA Hypomethylation Is One of the Epigenetic Mechanisms Involved in Salt‐Stress Priming in Soybean Seedlings

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt‐stress priming enhances the tolerance of plants against subsequent exposure to a similar stress. Priming‐induced transcriptomic reprogramming is mediated by multiple epigenetic mechanisms, the best known of which is histone modifications. However, not much is known about other epigenetic responses.

A Case of Pediatric Spitz Melanoma With a ZEB2::ALK Fusion

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a rare case of Spitz melanoma in a 3‐year‐old male patient with a ZEB2::ALK fusion. This ALK‐fused tumor exhibited aggressive behavior, recurring after an initial wide local excision and progressing despite neoadjuvant immunotherapy with a PD‐1 inhibitor.

Long non‐coding small nucleolar RNA host genes in digestive cancers

Cancer Medicine, 2019
Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) do not have protein coding capacities, they are involved in the pathogenesis of many types of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical cancer, and gastric cancer. Notably, the roles of lncRNAs are vital

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity [PDF]

, 2016
Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here,

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Smc5/6: a link between DNA repair and unidirectional replication? [PDF]

, 2008
Of the three structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes, two directly regulate chromosome dynamics. The third, Smc5/6, functions mainly in homologous recombination and in completing DNA replication.

Pitfalls and missing links in current understanding of 4D genomes

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 2, June 2026.
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 ...
