Insulation of ribosomal promoter activity by Fis, H-NS or a divergent promoter within the packed E. coli genome.

The paper shows that Fis and H-NS insulation mechanisms and divergent promoters help regulate ribosomal promoter activity in E. coli, allowing gene duplication without local genomic effects.

Direct single-cell observation of a key E. coli cell cycle oscillator

This study directly observes two distinct E. coli cell cycle oscillators at the single-cell level, revealing their relationship with cell size and DNA replication initiation.

Threshold accumulation of a constitutive protein explains E. coli cell division behavior in nutrient upshifts.

The paper investigates E. coli cell division behavior during nutrient upshifts and finds that a constitutive protein accumulates to a threshold, triggering division and maintaining adder correlations.

Post-replicative pairing of sister ter regions in Escherichia coli involves multiple activities of MatP

The paper investigates how MatP protein facilitates pairing of sister ter regions in E. coli by combining mobility analyses and biochemical methods, finding MatP tetramerization and ZapB interaction are essential.

A decrease in transcription capacity limits growth rate upon translation inhibition

The paper quantifies how translation inhibition reduces transcription capacity by limiting free RNA polymerase availability, affecting gene expression based on mRNA length.

Genome diversity and species richness in mammals

The paper examines the association between genome diversity and species richness in mammals, finding a significant link at order and family levels, with karyotype diversity showing the strongest support.
