A nanoscale 3D DNA tracing workflow visualizes Cohesin-dependent loops in single, structurally well-preserved cells. Computer simulations based on the tracing data give further insight into how Cohesi...

Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 21 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00846-xTechnological and computational advances in recent years, from cryo-electron microscopy to sequencing technologies and machine learning, have substantially deepened our understanding of RNA splicing. Nature Reviews Genetics and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology present an online collection that showcases the novel biological insights facilitated by these advances.

The physical organization of the genome in non-bilaterian animals and their closest unicellular relatives is characterized; comparative analysis shows chromatin looping is a conserved feature of genome architecture and spatial genome regulation emerged early in animal evolution.

Kinetoplastids, such as Trypansoma brucei, are eukaryotes that likely separated from the main lineage at an exceptionally early point in evolution. Consequently, many aspects of kinetoplastid biology ...

Nature Microbiology - Toxoplasma gondii evolved two ISWI remodellers, TgSNF2h and TgSNF2L. TgSNF2h forms a complex that insulates active genes, regulates MORC-driven sexual commitment and ensures...
