Our first October issue is online. link.springer.com/journal/4431... The cover features work by Taichiro Iki, Toshie Kai and co-workers, revealing a new role for Set1-mediated piRNA biogenesis in transposon silencing at telomeres. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Genome Stability
by @jamesmdewar.bsky.social
Genome stability on Bluesky: DNA repair and replication, homologous recombination, NHEJ, MMEJ, alt-EJ, BER, NER, MMR, telomeres, telomerase, topoisomerases, mutagenesis, double- and single-strand breaks, replication fork reversal and collapse.
Researchers identified novel mutations of flower color, leaf color, and leaf pubescence in the F1 and F2 generations of hardy hibiscus using EMS-induced mutagenesis and determined the LD50 values and ideal treatment levels. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI19676-26
