Microexons play crucial roles in neuronal function but pose mechanistic challenges to the spliceosome. Choudhary et al. reveal that PRP-40, a core spliceosomal component, is required for microexon inc...

Polyamines produced by gut bacteria have been proposed to contribute to inflammatory bowel diseases. Here, Nauta et al. show that bacteria can produce a noncanonical polyamine intermediate that functi...

Systematic analysis of highly rearranged balancer chromosomes in Drosophila shows that extensive changes to chromatin topology affect the expression of only a subset of genes.

piRNAs are an important genome regulatory mechanism conserved across metazoans. In the nematode C. elegans, piRNA biogenesis evolved several differences from other metazoans. Beltran et al. study the ...
