(2n=2x=14, genome SS) is a wild relative of wheat and a donor of useful traits for wheat improvement. Several whole-genome studies compared genic regions of from the section and wheat and found that is most closely related to the wheat B subgenome but is not its direct progenitor. The results showed that a B subgenome ancestor diverged from more than 4 MYA and either has not yet been discovered, or is extinct.

This process has been extensively studied using structural, biochemical, and single-molecule approaches, which require homogenously positioned nucleosomes. This is often achieved using the Widom 601 sequence, a highly efficient nucleosome positioning element (NPE) selected for its unusually strong binding to the H3-H4 histone tetramer.

To reveal structural transitions underlying heterochromatin formation in maturing mouse rod photoreceptors, we apply cryo-EM tomography, AI-assisted deep denoising, and molecular modeling. We find that chromatin isolated from immature retina cells contains many closely apposed nucleosomes with extremely short or absent nucleosome linkers, which are inconsistent with the typical two-start zigzag chromatin folding.

Background/objectives: A striking feature of the karyotypes of stingless bees is the large amount of heterochromatin present in most species. Cytogenomic studies performed in some Meliponini species have suggested that evolutionary events related to the diversification and amplification of satellite DNA families in the heterochromatin may reflect the structuring of phylogenetic clades in this tribe. In this study, we performed a genomic analysis in to characterize different satDNA families in its genome.

An evolutionarily conserved heterodimeric FACT (Facilitates chromatin transcription) regulates transcription, DNA repair, replication and other cellular processes via its interactions with other proteins. FACT is recently found to be regulated via ubiquitylation and 26S proteasomal degradation, alteration of which is associated with aberrant transcription and genome integrity. However, there has not been a systematic study to analyze FACT interactions proteome-wide in the presence and absence of its UPS (Ubiquitin-proteasome system) regulation, which could reveal new FACT interactors with mechanistic and functional implications.
