  1. DNA replication errors linked to small inverted triplications
    Analysis of cancer genomes reveals FEN1 drives formation of small inverted triplications through replication errors at nucleosome boundaries, with implications for structural variant mechanisms.
  2. PAF15-PCNA exhaustion limits strand-specific DNA replication control
    Study reveals PAF15-PCNA interaction as a strand-specific constraint that couples lagging-strand synthesis capacity to global DNA replication control through dosage-sensitive mechanism.
  3. Localised negative feedback shapes genome-wide patterning of meiotic DNA breaks
    Tel1-mediated negative feedback propagates locally to reshape genome-wide meiotic DSB patterns in yeast, demonstrating how localized regulation drives emergent patterning.
  4. CTF18–RFC structure shows distinctive PCNA-loading features
    Cryo-EM structure of human CTF18–RFC clamp loader bound to PCNA reveals autoinhibited conformation and unique structural features governing leading strand synthesis.
  5. Bora links Aurora-A activation to PLK1 recognition
    Structural analysis revealing how the intrinsically disordered protein Bora bridges Aurora-A kinase and PLK1 substrate recognition through phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms during mitotic entry.
  6. Chromosome-specific differences in the recombination landscape of spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction
    Whole-genome sequencing of Drosophila reveals chromosome-specific recombination patterns in meiotic nondisjunction, with metacentric chromosome 2 showing reduced recombination.
