A chromatin factor involved in splicing through its association with RNA

The team of Christian Muchardt (B2A) et al. have identified a mechanism for the role of the heterochromatin marker protein HP1gamma in splicing. RNAs associated with this factor are enriched in repeated motifs in regions that are removed during splicing.These results were published in EMBO Reports. […]

What is found at the end of a chromosome?

The ends of chromosomes are essential structures for genome integrity. This work was published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research. In this paper, the researchers use long-read sequencing data to comprehensively map subtelomeres in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and identify specific repeated elements, providing information about the function and evolution of these regions. [...]
