Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Influence of Genomic DNA Sequence on Human X Chromosome Inactivation
TL;DR: It is suggested that features of the underlying primary DNA sequence of the human X chromosome may influence the spreading and/or maintenance of X inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of extreme resistance to ionizing radiation via genetic adaptation of DNA repair.
Rose T. Byrne,Audrey J. Klingele,Eric L. Cabot,Wendy Schackwitz,Jeffrey Martin,Joel Martin,Zhong Wang,Elizabeth A. Wood,Christa Pennacchio,Len A. Pennacchio,Nicole T. Perna,John R. Battista,Michael M. Cox +12 more
TL;DR: Of 69 mutations identified in one of the most highly adapted isolates, functional experiments demonstrate that the IR resistance phenotype is almost entirely accounted for by only three nucleotide changes, in the DNA metabolism genes recA, dnaB, and yfjK.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence and regulation of antisense transcripts in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Ting Ni,Kang Tu,Kang Tu,Zhong Wang,Shen Song,Han Wu,Han Wu,Bin Xie,Kristin C. Scott,Shiv I. S. Grewal,Yuan Gao,Jun Zhu,Jun Zhu +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that polyadenylated antisense transcripts are broadly expressed while distinct expression patterns were observed for protein-c coding and non-coding loci, and antisense transcription may have profound impacts on global gene regulation in S. pombe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Division of Drosophila Germline Stem Cells and Their Precursors Requires a Specific Cyclin
Zhong Wang,Haifan Lin +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the division of Drosophila GSCs and their precursors, the primordial germ cells (PGCs), specifically requires CycB, and that stem cells may use specific cell cycle regulators for their division.

TL;DR: Benchmark metagenomes were generated from ~700 newly sequenced microorganisms and ~600 novel viruses and plasmids, including genomes with varying degrees of relatedness to each other and to publicly available ones and representing common experimental setups.
