Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

The complete chloroplast genome of Solanum berthaultii, one of the potato wild relative species
Solanum berthaultii is a wild species belonging to Solanaceae family. The complete chloroplast genome of S. berthaultii was constituted by de novo assembly using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of S. berthaultii was

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

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.

Non-alignment comparison of human and high primate genomes [PDF]
Compositional spectra (CS) analysis based on k-mer scoring of DNA sequences was employed in this study for dot-plot comparison of human and primate genomes. The detection of extended conserved synteny regions was based on continuous fuzzy similarity rather than on chains of discrete anchors (genes or highly conserved noncoding elements). In addition to

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.
