Improving single-cell cloning workflow for gene editing in human pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
The availability of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and progress in genome engineering technology have altered the way we approach scientific research and drug development screens.

Genome Compression Against a Reference [PDF]
Being able to store and transmit human genome sequences is an important part in genomic research and industrial applications. The complete human genome has 3.1 billion base pairs (haploid), and storing the entire genome naively takes about 3 GB, which is infeasible for large scale usage. However, human genomes are highly redundant.

Comparative analysis of transposed element insertion within human and mouse genomes reveals Alu's unique role in shaping the human transcriptome [PDF]
Background: Transposed elements (TEs) have a substantial impact on mammalian evolution and are involved in numerous genetic diseases. We compared the impact of TEs on the human transcriptome and the mouse transcriptome. Results: We compiled a dataset of all TEs in the human and mouse genomes, identifying 3,932,058 and 3,122,416 TEs, respectively.

The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results

Dynamic disequilibrium-based pathogenicity model in mutated pyrin’s B30.2 domain—Casp1/p20 complex
Background The B30.2 variants lead to most relevant severity forms of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) manifestations. The B30.2 domain plays a key role in protein-protein interaction (PPI) of pyrin with other apoptosis proteins and in regulation the ...

The Epstein-Barr Virus Episome Maneuvers between Nuclear Chromatin Compartments during Reactivation. [PDF]
The human genome is structurally organized in three-dimensional space to facilitate functional partitioning of transcription. We learned that the latent episome of the human Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) preferentially associates with gene-poor chromosomes ...

A growing literature in human social genomics has begun to analyze how everyday life circumstances influence human gene expression. Social-environmental conditions such as urbanity, low socioeconomic status, social isolation, social threat, and low or unstable social status have been found to associate with differential expression of hundreds of gene ...

Decoding the human genome [PDF]
Interpreting the human genome sequence is one of the major scientific endeavors of our time. In February 2001, when the human genome reference sequence was initially released (Lander et al. 2001), our understanding of the encoded contents was surprisingly limited.

Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

The impact of rare and low-frequency genetic variants in common disease
Despite thousands of genetic loci identified to date, a large proportion of genetic variation predisposing to complex disease and traits remains unaccounted for.
