Benchmarking of Hi-C tools for scaffolding plant genomes obtained from PacBio HiFi and ONT reads

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
The implementation of Hi-C reads in the de novo genome assembly process allows the ordering of large regions of the genome in scaffolds and the generation of chromosome-level assemblies.

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Benchmarking genome assemblers for four bacterial models based on contiguity, correctness, and completeness

Scientific Reports
De novo genome assembly allows for the genome reconstruction of an organism without using a reference sequence. Assembly results depend on various sequencing technologies that generate data with differing fidelity, read lengths, and coverage levels, as ...

Functional Suppression of SCAP Triggers Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress‐Dependent Ferroptosis by Impairing Cholesterol Metabolism in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel GC therapy targeting cholesterol homeostasis. Inhibiting the SCAP sterol‐sensing domain causes lethal ER stress via cholesterol accumulation, paradoxically forcing continuous synthesis that triggers ferroptosis. The findings link sterol sensing, metabolic dysregulation, and ferroptosis, establishing an anti‐cancer paradigm ...

Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil Key Regulators Governing Cell Differentiation for Schistosoma japonicum Sexual Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, we identified key regulators that govern cell differentiation involved in parasite development and egg laying in Schistosoma japonicum. This comprehensive study establishes a foundational resource for understanding schistosome biology, deciphers the regulatory programs underlying cell differentiation and ...

RHINO: An Integrative Multi‐Omics Framework Linking Circadian Physiology to Precision Medicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RHINO (RHythmic Interacting Network for multi‐Omics) is an integrative framework that maps circadian regulation across diverse genetic and disease contexts and prioritizes druggable circadian targets. Released as an AI‐powered interactive web portal, RHINO unifies genetic, regulatory, disease, and drug–target information, enabling context‐specific ...

Metagenomic Association Uncovers Host Genotype‐Structured Rhizobacterial Networks and Novel Taxa That Enhance Soybean Salt Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An STI‐guided metagenomic association framework links soybean salt‐tolerance phenotypes with rhizosphere microbiome composition and network organization in natural saline soils. The approach identifies candidate beneficial taxa, including Thalassospira xiamenensis, and provides an efficient strategy for mining stress‐protective microbes from native ...

Penfluridol Triggers GSDME‐Mediated Immunogenic Pyroptosis to Potentiate Antitumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐throughput screen of FDA‐approved antipsychotics identifies penfluridol as a potent pyroptosis inducer acting via direct TTI1 inhibition. This triggers TNFA‐NFKB signaling and caspase‐8/‐3‐dependent GSDME cleavage. The compound stimulates antitumor immunity alone and synergizes with anti‐PD‐1 therapy, while low TTI1 expression emerges as a ...
