Background: Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) catalyzed breakthroughs across various scientific domains. Illumina's sequencing by synthesis method has long been central to NGS, but new sequencing methods like Element Biosciences' AVITI technology are emerging. AVITI is reported to offer improved signal-to-noise ratios and cost reductions.

Unstable transcripts have emerged as markers of active enhancers in vertebrates and shown to be involved in many cellular processes and medical disorders. However, their prevalence and role in plants is largely unexplored. Here, we comprehensively captured all actively initiating (nascent) transcripts across diverse crops and other plants using capped small (cs)RNA sequencing.

Article Synopsis
  • APOBEC cytidine deaminases, specifically APOBEC3A, contribute to genetic instability in cancer, particularly through the creation of mutations in breast cancer.
  • The study reveals that using proteasome inhibitors boosts the levels of A3A mRNA significantly, by approximately 100 times, suggesting that this treatment activates the transcription of A3A rather than just preventing its breakdown.
  • Increased A3A levels lead to greater cytidine deaminase activity, reduced cell growth, and more DNA damage, indicating that proteasome dysfunction may enhance genetic diversity in tumors and affect how patients respond to treatments.
