Satellite DNA consists of abundant tandem repeats that play important roles in cellular
processes, including chromosome segregation, genome organization and chromosome end …

Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired
function and increased vulnerability to death. This deterioration is the primary risk factor for …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a brain tumor that carries a dismal prognosis and displays
considerable heterogeneity. We have recently identified recurrent H3F3A mutations affecting …

Cancer arises as a consequence of cumulative disruptions to cellular growth control with
Darwinian selection for those heritable changes that provide the greatest clonal advantage …

Human spermatogenesis is a highly ordered process; however, the roles of DNA
methylation and chromatin accessibility in this process remain largely unknown. Here by …

Loss of the de novo DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b in embryonic stem cells
obstructs differentiation; however, the role of these enzymes in somatic stem cells is largely …
