Actin dynamics switches two distinct modes of endosomal fusion in yolk sac visceral endoderm cells

De novo activated transcription of insertd foreign coding sequences is inheritable in the plant genome

The study shows that de novo transcription of inserted foreign coding sequences in Arabidopsis thaliana is inheritable, with transcriptional activity changing during one generation.

Plant genome response to incoming coding sequences: stochastic transcriptional activation independent of integration loci

The paper investigates how transgenes acquire transcriptional activity in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that 30% of promoterless inserts are transcribed independently of integration sites.

Evaluation of origin of driving force for loop formation in a chromatin fiber

The paper evaluates the energy sources driving chromatin loop formation using a lattice model, finding excluded volume interactions are essential regardless of thermal or ATP-driven energy.

Large DNA virus promoted the endosymbiotic evolution to make a photosynthetic eukaryote

This study shows that a large DNA virus played a key role in the rapid genome reorganization and gene transfer during the endosymbiotic evolution of a photosynthetic amoeba.
