DNA Checkpoint and Repair Factors Are Nuclear Sensors for Intracellular Organelle Stresses-Inflammations and Cancers Can Have High Genomic Risks. [PDF]
Under inflammatory conditions, inflammatory cells release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which cause DNA damage. If not appropriately repaired, DNA damage leads to gene mutations and genomic instability.

Robust single-cell DNA methylome profiling with snmC-seq2
Single-cell DNA methylome profiling allows the study of epigenomic heterogeneity in tissues but has been impeded by library quality. Here the authors demonstrate snmC-seq2 which improves mapping, throughput and library complexity.

Genomic Analysis of Immune Response against Vibrio Cholerae Hemolysin in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (VCC) is among the accessory V. cholerae virulence factors that may contribute to disease pathogenesis in humans. VCC, encoded by hlyA gene, belongs to the most common class of bacterial toxins, known as poreforming toxins (PFTs)
