The Brantley Lab is seeking a Research Technician who is passionate about basic science and being a reliable, collaborative member of an academic research team. Research in the Brantley Lab uses quant...

The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

This Review discusses how rare-disease-causing variants in the noncoding genome impact gene regulation, why these examples are so few and how new approaches could accelerate discovery of noncoding var...

Development depends on gene regulation by enhancers across long genomic distances. This Perspective discusses mechanisms enabling long-range enhancer–promoter communication and the potential advantage...

Why do mammalian species develop at different speeds? Nakanoh, Stamataki, et al. show that mouse neural progenitors have faster protein synthesis and proteasome-mediated degradation than human. Manipu...

The differentiation variability of human pluripotent stem cell lines is diagnosed and corrected.

Housekeeping genes maintain robust expression across cell types despite dynamic transcription factor fluctuations, yet their haploinsufficiency is associated with many tissue-specific developmental di...

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe , the conserved CHD remodeler Mit1 function within the SHREC remodeler-deacetylase complex (a homolog of the metazoan Mi-2/NuRD complex), which is essential for H3K9 methy...

This study introduces iChIP2, a low-input chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing method that profiles histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) simultaneously across diverse eukar...

Steady-state RNA abundance measurements mask the synthesis and decay rates that shape gene expression. Analog intrinsic recoding sequencing (AIR-seq) repurposes the base-pairing properties of N4-hydro...

A team of scientists uploaded videos of the squirrel-like rodents in the wild on the adult-content site OnlyFans to raise money amid government budget cuts.

Heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) is an intrinsic component of heterochromatin domains where it is involved in a diverse set of functions including heterochromatin spreading and organization, chromati...

Using an in situ genome-rewriting platform, Zhou et al. demonstrate that precise transcriptional regulation of the NMU promoter is governed by a 3D regulatory hub comprising a core retroviral LTR enhancer, a decoy LTR promoter, and activity-boosting “facilitator” elements.

Fluorescent proteins and small-molecule dyes offer complementary advantages for biological imaging: proteins are amenable to genetic tagging, whereas dyes provide superior brightness and photostabilit...

This study introduces Corgi and Corgi+ , biology-inspired deep neural network models of regulatory DNA sequences that can generalize to unseen cell types. They accurately impute epigenomic d...

HHMI's 2027 Gilliam Fellowship guide is out. What changed: an earlier October 27 deadline, expanded eligibility, a higher stipend, and a new postdoc pathway.

Replication stress induces the formation of transient chromatin loops that enclose de novo heterochromatin-enriched stalled replication forks.

This study contributes a resource of predicted effects of noncoding variants on chromatin accessibility and a method to identify noncoding variants with extreme regulatory effects, with application to...

DNA-barcoded antibodies are central to a broad range of spatial and dissociative assays and applications, including multiplexed imaging, single-cell profiling, and proximity detection. Direct modifica...

The genetic program of animal development is conserved, but its rate of execution varies across species. Heterochrony, shifts in the relative timing of developmental events, generates phenotypic varia...

Nucleosome spacing influences higher-order chromatin fiber organization in vitro but how this relates to cellular chromosome structure remains contentious. To address this, we developed Ligation Analy...

Neurodevelopment is the transformation of genetic information into diverse neuronal phenotypes. Developmental signals initiate patterns of gene transcription and translation that drive progenitors tow...

Mitochondria interact directly with the nuclear pore complex via VDAC1–RANBP2 binding to sustain nuclear ATP levels.

Changes in nuclear architecture during cell state transitions remain poorly understood. Here, the authors use O-SNAP, a framework to analyze SMLM images of chromatin, to reveal chromatin remodelling i...

How intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) shape chromatin binding and nuclear organization of transcription factors (TFs) remains unclear. We used proximity-assisted photoactivation (PAPA), a single...
