Sequencing of natural strains of Arabidopsis thaliana with short reads [PDF]

Genome Research, 2008
Whole-genome hybridization studies have suggested that the nuclear genomes of accessions (natural strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana can differ by several percent of their sequence. To examine this variation, and as a first step in the 1001 Genomes Project for this species, we produced 15- to ...

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Investigating structural variant, indel and single nucleotide polymorphism differentiation between locally adapted Atlantic salmon populations

Evolutionary Applications
Genomic structural variants (SVs) are now recognized as an integral component of intraspecific polymorphism and are known to contribute to evolutionary processes in various organisms.

Detecting Expansions of Tandem Repeats in Cohorts Sequenced with Short-Read Sequencing Data [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2018
Repeat expansions cause more than 30 inherited disorders, predominantly neurogenetic. These can present with overlapping clinical phenotypes, making molecular diagnosis challenging. Single-gene or small-panel PCR-based methods can help to identify the precise genetic cause, but they can be slow and costly and often yield no result.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Choosing the most suitable NGS technology to combine with a standardized viral enrichment protocol for obtaining complete avian orthoreovirus genomes from metagenomic samples

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
Since viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens, sequencing their genomes results in metagenomic data from both the virus and the host. Virology researchers are constantly seeking new, cost-effective strategies and bioinformatic pipelines for the ...

Telescoper: de novo assembly of highly repetitive regions. [PDF]

, 2012
MotivationWith advances in sequencing technology, it has become faster and cheaper to obtain short-read data from which to assemble genomes. Although there has been considerable progress in the field of genome assembly, producing high-quality de novo ...

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...

Metabarcoding with Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies provides complementary insights into tree seed mycobiota

Environmental Microbiome
Background Culturing of fungi is labor-intensive and reveals limited diversity, while high-throughput sequencing of barcodes (i.e., metabarcoding) enables a simultaneous detection of fungi from multiple environmental samples.

Improved transcriptome assembly using a hybrid of long and short reads with StringTie.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Short-read RNA sequencing and long-read RNA sequencing each have their strengths and weaknesses for transcriptome assembly. While short reads are highly accurate, they are rarely able to span multiple exons.
