Background: Although metabarcoding and metagenomic approaches have generated large datasets on worldwide phytoplankton species diversity, the intraspecific genetic diversity underlying the genetic adaptation of marine phytoplankton to specific environmental niches remains largely unexplored. This is mainly due to the lack of biological resources and tools for monitoring the dynamics of this diversity in space and time.
Results: To gain insight into population diversity, a novel method based on INDEL markers was developed on Bathycoccus prasinos (Mamiellophyceae), an abundant and cosmopolitan species with strong seasonal patterns.
Bispecific antibodies targeting GPRC5D demonstrated promising efficacy in multiple myeloma, but acquired resistance usually occurs within a few months. Using a single-nucleus multi-omic strategy in three patients from the MYRACLE cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT03807128 ), we identified two resistance mechanisms, by bi-allelic genetic inactivation of GPRC5D or by long-range epigenetic silencing of its promoter and enhancer regions.

Methods: Here, we performed an analysis of 42 MM samples from 21 patients by using enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (eRRBS).
