Importance of cohesin to yeasts' 3D chromosome structure
The 3D organization of chromosomes plays a role in many biological processes. The ring formed by the cohesin complex is an important regulator of this organization, especially in mammals where it establishes chromatin loops during interphase. Researchers from the Spatial Regulation of Genomes Unit and the CNRS show that such loops structure yeast chromosomes in metaphase and characterize the...

A simple in vitro test to bring surveillance of artemisinin-resistant malaria parasites to scale
A fruitful international cooperation, scientists from the Institut Pasteur in Cambodia, the Institut Pasteur in Paris and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed the first in vitro test adapted to field conditions in malaria-endemic areas for the study of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (the parasite responsible for severe cases of malaria). Artemisinin is a major component...
