Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Fetal Fraction Signatures: A Quality Control Tool to Detect Potentially Confounding Situations in NonInvasive Prenatal Diagnosis of Monogenic Conditions

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for monogenic diseases (NIPD‐M) to detect inherited mutations is performed in parallel with fetal fraction signatures, to detect various anomalies that may compromise diagnosis. An extra regression analysis may be necessary to resolve mosaic situations. ABSTRACT Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis relies on the analysis of the

Transcription Factor TCF12‐Mediated Maternal Gene Expressions in Mouse Oocyte Are Prerequisites of Successful Fertilisation and Zygotic Genome Activation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Maternal TCF12 ensures the competence of fertilisation by controlling the expression of Astl and the proper location of cortical granules. Furthermore, maternal TCF12 maintains the phosphatase activity of PP2A by regulating the expression of Arpp19. Oocyte‐specific deletion of Tcf12 leads to fertilisation defects as well as ZGA failure at the 2‐cell ...

Analysis of Human Uniparental Embryonic Stem Cells Reveals New Putative Imprinted Loci

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
To identify novel imprinted genes, parthenogenetic, androgenetic and biparental human embryonic stem cells and their differentiated neural progenitors were analysed by methylome and transcriptome profiling. This approach uncovered 12 putative novel imprinted genes, including a clustered region on chromosome 19, expanding the current catalogue of ...

Phosphatase PPP1CC Regulates the First Lineage Segregation by GAS5 in Mouse Preimplantation Embryos

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Subcortical GAS5 directs PPP1CC phosphatase spatiotemporal positioning during mouse morula‐blastocyst transition, controlling YAP dephosphorylation to drive first embryonic lineage specification. ABSTRACT The transcriptional effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, YAP, regulates the first lineage specification in mouse preimplantation embryos ...

SOX30 Governs Synaptonemal Complex Assembly and Homologous Recombination in Male Meiosis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The transcription factor SOX30 directly binds promoter regions of SYCE1 and SYCE2 to mediate their transcriptional activation, thereby enabling proper assembly of central elements within the synaptonemal complex. Structural destabilisation of the synaptonemal complex in Sox30 KK spermatocytes triggers synaptic discontinuity, impairs homologous ...

Eye can see clearly now: Identifying the locus associated with a white‐eye mutation in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
We performed a community science investigation with the beekeepers nationwide to find phenotypic mutants. Alongside a beekeeper in Kentucky, we performed a GWAS to identify a region associated with a white‐eye phenotype. We identified an eight bp region in a non‐coding RNA strongly associated with white eyes.

New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.
