Characterization of putative germline pathogenic variants in 27 candidate cancer-predisposing genes in 813 cats using a feline-specific multiplex targeted sequencing

open access: yesScientific Reports
In humans, about 5–10% of all cancers are caused by germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in cancer-predisposing genes, and their identification enables precision oncology approaches, such as surveillance for early detection, preventive medicine, and ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequences of Pathogenic Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Isolates from the Same Hospital Environment to Investigate Common Evolutionary Trends Associated with Horizontal Gene Exchange, Mutations and DNA Methylation Patterning

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Hospital-acquired infections are a generally recognized problem for healthcare professionals. Clinical variants of Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens are characterized with enhanced antibiotic resistance and virulence due to mutations and the ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Pan-cancer prevalence, risk, and clinical and demographic characteristics of Lynch Syndrome-associated variants in BioBank Japan

open access: yesCommunications Medicine
Background Although germline testing for DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes is routinely performed, clinical guidelines highlight evidence gaps due to limited populations and biases.

Genotype calling in tetraploid species from bi-allelic marker data using mixture models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Automated genotype calling in tetraploid species was until recently not possible, which hampered genetic analysis. Modern genotyping assays often produce two signals, one for each allele of a bi-allelic marker.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
