Stability of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) relies on microhomology-mediated end joining at fragile TA-rich sites, with FANCM suppressing break formation, suggesting that Polθ disruption may destabilize ecDNA and sensitize ecDNA-driven tumours to therapeutic intervention.Nature, Published online: 23 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11028-yArmA from Methanobrevibacter smithii, a dominant member of the human gut microbiome, is identified and characterized as a glycosyl hydrolase specific for cleavi…

ArmA from Methanobrevibacter smithii, a dominant member of the human gut microbiome, is identified and characterized as a glycosyl hydrolase specific for cleaving the cell wall of methanogens, revealing an unsuspected chemical structure of archaeal peptidoglycan that includes a previously unidentified sugar.Nature, Published online: 23 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11056-8Detailed analyses of ligand choice, linkage vector and linker length enabled the development of bitopic inhibitors of ABL1 and EGFR kinases, including an ABL1 i…

The plant Rhynchospora tenuis has no exchange of DNA between parental chromosomes during the production of male and female sex cells. Even so, it still transmits chromosomes and retains sexual reproduction. This unusual system restores parental genetic variants, leading to clonal-like inheritance across generations despite sex-cell production and fertilization.Nature, Published online: 23 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11016-2Nine-residue peptides can encode discrete interaction motifs that direct the formation of hexagonal pores, which hierarchically tile into laterally expandable m…

Nine-residue peptides can encode discrete interaction motifs that direct the formation of hexagonal pores, which hierarchically tile into laterally expandable multichannel nanofibrils with defined topology.
