Latent regulatory potential of human-specific repetitive elements [PDF]
At least half of the human genome is derived from repetitive elements, which are often lineage specific and silenced by a variety of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Using a transchromosomic mouse strain that transmits an almost complete single copy of

Accurate Whole Human Genome Sequencing using Reversible Terminator Chemistry
DNA sequence information underpins genetic research, enabling discoveries of important biological or medical benefit. Sequencing projects have traditionally used long (400–800 base pair) reads, but the existence of reference sequences for the human and ...

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Inferring selective constraint from population genomic data suggests recent regulatory turnover in the human brain [PDF]
The comparative genomics revolution of the past decade has enabled the discovery of functional elements in the human genome via sequence comparison. While that is so, an important class of elements, those specific to humans, is entirely missed by searching for sequence conservation across species.

AT THE END OF THE ROAD in Little Cottonwood Canyon, near Salt Lake City, Alta is a place of near-mythic renown among skiers. In time it may well assume similar status among molecular geneticists.

Measuring microsatellite conservation in mammalian evolution with a phylogenetic birth-death model. [PDF]
Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection.

Genome-Scale CRISPR-Cas9 Knockout Screening in Human Cells
Improving Whole-Genome Screens Improved methods are needed for the knockout of individual genes in genome-scale functional screens. Wang et al. (p. 80, published online 12 December) and Shalem et al. (p.

The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

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 drifting human genome [PDF]
Around the time of the completion of the draft human genome sequence, biologists heatedly debated the number of genes contained in the human genome. In 2003, GeneSweep, an informal gene-count betting pool that began at the 2000 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Genome Meeting, announced Lee Rowen of the Institute of Systems Biology in Seattle to be the ...
