lncCPSET1 acts as a scaffold for MLL2/COMPASS to regulate Bmp4 and promote the formation of chicken primordial germ cells
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the ancestors of female and male germ cells. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and histone methylation are key epigenetic factors affecting PGC format...

Liver cancer-specific mutations in functional domains of ADAR2 lead to the elevation of coding and non-coding RNA editing in multiple tumor-related genes
Mutation is the major cause of phenotypic innovations. Apart from DNA mutations, the alteration on RNA such as the ADAR-mediated A-to-I RNA editing could also shape the phenotype. These two layers of variation...

The formation of proto-austronesians: insights from a revised phylogeography of the paternal founder lineage
Previous studies suggested that the Y-chromosome haplogroups O2-N6-B451-AM01756 and O1a-M119 are two founder lineages of proto-Austronesians at about five thousand years ago. The objective of this study was to...
