We report here the complete genome sequence of strain JD2-26 isolated from a municipal solid waste landfill facility. The genome consists of a 6.32-Mbp chromosome and a plasmid having a total of 6,100 genes, including 5,914 coding sequences.

The METTL3-METTL14 complex generates most -methyladenosine (mA) modifications in messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and dysregulated methyltransferase expression has been linked to cancers. Here we show that a changed sequence context for mA can promote oncogenesis.

In the age group 65 and older, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is increasing. Before symptoms showed up, the disease had grown to a severe stage and resulted in an irreversible brain disorder that is not treatable with medication or other therapies.

Lead poisoning remains a significant public health concern with preventable exposure from different sources, including certain traditional consumer products. To address the concern of product-related lead exposures, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has developed the Non-Paint Sample Database (NPSD). NPSD systematically tracks information about hazardous consumer products collected during New York City case investigations and store surveys.

Current polygenic risk scores (PRS) have limited predictive power and cannot inform time of symptom onset. Circulating proteomics profiling offers a novel, non-invasive approach for understanding the inflammatory state of complex diseases, enabling the creation of proteomic risk scores (ProRS).
