Abstract Premise Species complexes are groups of closely related species with ambiguous delimitation, often composed of recently diverged lineages. Polyploidization and uniparental reproduction (i.e., selfing and apomixis) can play important roles in the origin of species complexes. These complexes pose challenges for species‐based scientific questions,

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

ABSTRACT Pathogenic germline variants in the APC gene result in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) which can escalate into colon cancer. Standard clinical testing failed to identify pathogenic variants in a 4‐generation FAP family. We identified and assessed co‐segregation of a 5′ untranslated region (UTR) variant, NM_001127511.3 (APC) c.‐40G>A ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Leucine‐rich repeats and sterility α mutations in motif 1 (LRSAM1) has been proven to be involved in the pathogenesis of ALS.

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]
Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.

Detecting the Difficult: An Intronic NPC1 Variant Hiding in Plain Sight
ABSTRACT An illustration of the importance of manual data review for identifying rare intronic variants adjacent to homopolymers is presented here. A 14‐year‐old male with Niemann‐Pick Type C disease confirmed biochemically was only found to have a heterozygous pathogenic variant by molecular analysis. A manual review of the Next Generation Sequencing (

On the Estimation of Intron Evolution
PLoS Computational Biology recently published an article about spliceosomal intron evolution by Nguyen, Yoshihama, and Kenmochi [1]. The authors were unaware of some earlier independent results. Foremostly, the main point of the article—that of estimating the density of potential intron sites—is not novel.

ABSTRACT Genitopatellar syndrome (GPS) and Say‐Barber‐Biesecker‐Young‐Simpson Syndrome (SBBYSS) are clinically distinct neurodevelopmental disorders caused by monoallelic pathogenic variants in KAT6B. In some cases, GPS and SBBYSS features can overlap, determining an intermediate phenotype.
