The paper identifies pre-rRNA as a target of Dicer in quiescence and shows RiboCop silences rDNA through histone methylation.

The paper identifies Teosinte Pollen Drive, an RNAi-based gene drive in maize-teosinte hybrids, and shows its role in maize domestication and diversification through linked genetic elements.

The paper identifies Brd4 as a suppressor of genome instability in Dicer1-/- mouse embryonic stem cells, showing its role in coordinating transcription and replication of satellite repeats.

This paper uses NLP and metagenetic data to identify environmental associations of Cryptococcus neoformans, finding a link with decomposing wood.

The paper shows that ubiquitination of Clr4SUV39H1 by Ubc4 promotes transcriptional silencing through phase separation and ncRNA regulation.
