Open AccessAn integrated single-cell RNA-seq map of human neuroblastoma tumors and preclinical models uncovers divergent mesenchymal-like gene expression programs
Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric cancer, where preclinical studies suggest that a mesenchymal-like gene expression program contributes to chemotherapy resistance. However, clinical outcomes remain poor, imp...

Open AccessLABS: linear amplification-based bisulfite sequencing for ultrasensitive cancer detection from cell-free DNA
Methylation-based liquid biopsies show promises in detecting cancer using circulating cell-free DNA; however, current limitations impede clinical application. Most assays necessitate substantial DNA inputs, po...

Open AccessStructural variant landscapes reveal convergent signatures of evolution in sheep and goats
Sheep and goats have undergone domestication and improvement to produce similar phenotypes, which have been greatly impacted by structural variants (SVs). Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-level refere...

Open AccessUndetectable off-target effects induced by FokI catalytic domain in mouse embryos
The FokI catalytic domain can be fused to various DNA binding architectures to improve the precision of genome editing tools. However, evaluation of off-target effects is essential for develo** these tools. ...

Open AccessEffective methods for bulk RNA-seq deconvolution using scnRNA-seq transcriptomes
RNA profiling technologies at single-cell resolutions, including single-cell and single-nuclei RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq, scnRNA-seq for short), can help characterize the composition of tissues a...

Open AccessCharacterization of novel loci controlling seed oil content in Brassica napus by marker metabolite-based multi-omics analysis
Seed oil content is an important agronomic trait of Brassica napus (B. napus), and metabolites are considered as the bridge between genotype and phenotype for physical traits.

Open AccessDynamic chromatin regulatory programs during embryogenesis of hexaploid wheat
Plant and animal embryogenesis have conserved and distinct features. Cell fate transitions occur during embryogenesis in both plants and animals. The epigenomic processes regulating plant embryogenesis remain ...

Open AccessImplicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis
Genetic variants within nearly 1000 loci are known to contribute to modulation of blood lipid levels. However, the biological pathways underlying these associations are frequently unknown, limiting understandi...

Open AccessPan-cancer surveys indicate cell cycle-related roles of primate-specific genes in tumors and embryonic cerebrum
Despite having been extensively studied, it remains largely unclear why humans bear a particularly high risk of cancer. The antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis predicts that primate-specific genes (PSGs) tend t...

Open AccessMETTL4-mediated nuclear N6-deoxyadenosine methylation promotes metastasis through activating multiple metastasis-inducing targets
DNA N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) is rarely present in mammalian cells and its nuclear role remains elusive.

Open AccessPopulation structure discovery in meta-analyzed microbial communities and inflammatory bowel disease using MMUPHin
Microbiome studies of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have achieved a scale for meta-analysis of dysbioses among populations. To enable microbial community meta-analyses generally, we develop MMUPHin for nor...

Functional analysis of HADH c.99C>G shows that the variant causes the proliferation of pancreatic islets and leu-sensitive hyperinsulinaemia
A novel missense variant (NM_005327.7: c.99C>G, p.Ile33Met) was discovered in 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH), which is involved in congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). This variant may be damaging or dele...

Article
Open AccessGenome-wide analysis and functional annotation of chromatin-enriched noncoding RNAs in rice during somatic cell regeneration
Plants have the remarkable ability to generate callus, a pluripotent cell mass that acquires competence for subsequent tissue regeneration. Global chromatin remodeling is required for this cell fate transition...

Article
Open AccessA systems genetics approach reveals PbrNSC as a regulator of lignin and cellulose biosynthesis in stone cells of pear fruit
Stone cells in fruits of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) negatively influence fruit quality because their lignified cell walls impart a coarse and granular texture to the fruit flesh.

Open AccessTranscription-coupled structural dynamics of topologically associating domains regulate replication origin efficiency
Metazoan cells only utilize a small subset of the potential DNA replication origins to duplicate the whole genome in each cell cycle. Origin choice is linked to cell growth, differentiation, and replication st...
