Cancer‐Like Fragmentomic Characteristics of Somatic Variants in Cell‐Free DNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report that in non‐cancerous subjects, cell‐free (cfDNA) molecules harboring somatic variants exhibit cancer‐like fragmentomic characteristics associated with clonal hematopoiesis. Importantly, these somatic variant‐associated fragmentomic aberrations are more pronounced in cancer patients. Leveraging such somatic variant‐associated signals in cfDNA,

Longitudinal change in blood DNA epigenetic signature after smoking cessation

Epigenetics, 2022
Cigarette smoking is associated with epigenetic changes that may be reversible following smoking cessation. Whole blood DNA methylation was evaluated in Framingham Heart Study Offspring (n = 169) and Third Generation (n = 30) cohort participants at two ...

Metabolic Regulation of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Cleavage and Dimethyl Sulfide Production in Halomonas sp. D47

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a major marine organosulfur compound central to climate‐relevant dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production. In Halomonas sp. D47, DMSP catabolism is revealed to be coordinated by two transcriptional regulators, AcuR and AcuZ, which control gene expression by sensing DMSP and its metabolites.

Pervasive Transcription-coupled DNA repair in E. coli

Nature Communications, 2022
Transcription-Coupled DNA repair has been classically defined as the preferential repair of the template strand (TS) over the non-template strand (NTS). Here the authors challenge this classic model of TCR by using a genome-wide repair assay, CPD-seq, as

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]

, 2013
Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.

Length polymorphism in the ribosomal DNA intergenic spacers of Lens species

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2005
Analysis of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacers (IGS) (i.e., the IGS of 18S, 5.8S and 24S rDNA, and the NTS or non-transcribed spacer of 5S rDNA) of lentil cultivars and landraces (L. culinaris spp. culinaris) showed to have very low intraspecific length variability.

Meta‐GWAS of Pig Semen Quality Traits Reveals Conserved Genes Regulating Mammalian Fertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study incorporated 14 210 individuals to perform a GWAS meta‐analysis of six semen quality traits. The GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 234 GWAS loci associated with semen quality traits. The incorporation with a functional genomics resource explains potential genetic regulation of ∼40% GWAS signals underlying semen quality traits.

Archaeal diversity in deep-sea sediments estimated by means of different Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (T-RFLP) protocols [PDF]

, 2009
Despite the increasing recognition of the quantitative importance of Archaea in all marine systems, the protocols for a rapid estimate of Archaeal diversity patterns in deep-sea sediments have been only poorly tested yet.

Transcription of intergenic DNA deposits nucleosomes on promoter to silence gene expression [PDF]

Cell Cycle, 2011
Like all DNA-based processes, eukaryotic transcription takes place in the context of chromatin. The wrapping of 147 base pairs of DNA around an octamer of histone pro -teins (two copies each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) to form nucleosomes, the repeat-ing unit of chromatin, can have dramatic effects on both transcription initiation and elongation.

TTNPB Promotes Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐to‐Neural Stem Cell Transition via Modulation of Chromatin Accessibility and the S‐(5′‐adenosyl)‐L‐homocysteine/Choline Metabolic Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A retinoic acid receptor agonist, TTNPB, drives the efficient generation of advanced neural stem cells (ANSCs) from human pluripotent stem cells. TTNPB‐centered chromatin remodeling and metabolic reprogramming, promote neuroectoderm commitment. The resulting cells show robust neural potential and functional efficacy in a rat depression model.
