RNA polymerase II-mediated rDNA transcription mediates rDNA copy number expansion in Drosophila

by George J. Watase, Yukiko M. Yamashita

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA), which encodes ribosomal RNA, is an essential but unstable genomic element due to its tandemly repeated nature. rDNA’s repetitive nature causes spontaneous intrachromatid recombination, leading to copy number (CN) reduction, which must be counteracted by a mechanism that recovers CN to sustain cells’ viability. Akin to telomere maintenance, rDNA maintenance is particularly important in cell types that proliferate for an extended time period... Читать дальше...

Learning Micro-C from Hi-C with diffusion models

by Tong Liu, Hao Zhu, Zheng Wang

In the last few years, Micro-C has shown itself as an improved alternative to Hi-C. It replaced the restriction enzymes in Hi-C assays with micrococcal nuclease (MNase), resulting in capturing nucleosome resolution chromatin interactions. The signal-to-noise improvement of Micro-C allows it to detect more chromatin loops than high-resolution Hi-C. However, compared with massive Hi-C datasets available in the literature, there are only a limited number of Micro-C datasets. Читать дальше...

MLB news roundup

Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!

The A’s have regressed in a big way since their recent six-game winning streak ended on Cinco De Mayo. They’ve lost five in a row, 11 of their last 13, and were outscored 22-4 in Houston this week as the Astros swept a four-game series and overtook the A’s in the AL West standings. Rather than regaining their footing against a Houston team that has struggled this season, the A’s were humiliated yet again by the Stros. Читать дальше...

Oil Prices Remain Rangebound but a Breakout May Be Coming

Oil prices have remained rangebound this month, but falling inventories and a slowdown in U.S. inflation could provide the spark for a breakout. Friday, May 17th 2024Crude prices continue to trend within a very narrow range, confined within $82 and $84 per barrel over the course of May, and despite this week’s improving macroeconomic outlook Brent futures continue to be rangebound. That said, a slight US oil inventory drop and US inflation slowing down to a monthly rate of 0.3% might provide support for a breakout next week. Читать дальше...

A Coal Stock Worth Buying?

Readers may have noticed that I don’t often write about coal stocks. That is because I try my best to be positive, and coal is a hard subject on which to be that way. It is still needed, for sure, but its long-term future in a world of increasing concern about climate control and emissions is uncertain at best. The companies involved in its extraction, processing, and distribution are essentially in a race against time, trying to make the most money they can from their assets before those assets...
