Resolving Genotype–Phenotype Discrepancies of the Kidd Blood Group System Using Long-Read Nanopore Sequencing

Biomedicines
Due to substantial improvements in read accuracy, third-generation long-read sequencing holds great potential in blood group diagnostics, particularly in cases where traditional genotyping or sequencing techniques, primarily targeting exons, fail to ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...

Whole-genome sequencing reveals rare and structural variants contributing to psoriasis and identifies CERCAM as a risk gene

Cell Genomics
Summary: Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder with complex genetic architecture. Most genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of PsV have been limited to analyzing common single-nucleotide variants in Europeans ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Structure and stability of the P93G variant of ribonuclease A [PDF]

Protein Science, 1998
AbstractThe peptide bonds preceding Pro 93 and Pro 114 of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) are in the cis conformation. The trans‐to‐cis isomerization of these bonds had been indicted as the slow step during protein folding. Here, site‐directed mutagenesis was used to replace Pro 93 or Pro 114 with a glycine residue, and the crystalline ...

Individual Genomic Distinctness of Rice Germplasm as Measured with an Average Pairwise Dissimilarity of Genome-Wide SNPs and Structural Variants

Plants
The average pairwise dissimilarity (APD) between one plant sample and other assayed samples based on genetic markers was developed in 2006 to assess genetic distinctness and genetic redundancy in a plant germplasm collection.

SV-Pop: population-based structural variant analysis and visualization

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Genetic structural variation underpins a multitude of phenotypes, with significant implications for a range of biological outcomes. Despite their crucial role, structural variants (SVs) are often neglected and overshadowed by single nucleotide

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Unveiling genomic rearrangements in engineered iPSC lines by optical genome mapping

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
We demonstrate here the use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to detect genetic alterations arising from gene editing by various technologies in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
