Mitochondrial (mt) genomic study may reveal significant insight into the molecular evolution and several other aspects of genome evolution such as gene rearrangements evolution, gene regulation, and replication mechanisms. Other questions such as patterns of gene expression mechanism evolution, genomic variation and its correlation with physiology, and other molecular and biochemical mechanisms can be addressed by the mt genomics. Rare genomic changes have attracted evolutionary biology community for providing homoplasy free evidence of phylogenetic relationships. Gene rearrangements are considered to be rare evolutionary events and are being used to reconstruct the phylogeny of diverse group of organisms. Mt gene rearrangements have been established as a hotspot for the phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of closely as well as distantly related organisms.

NAB2::STAT6 Rearranged Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland with Sebaceous Differentiation: A Case Report.
Head Neck Pathol
January 2025
Department of Pathology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, 3508 GA, The Netherlands.
Purpose: The NAB2::STAT6 fusion is predominantly associated with solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and is utilized in diagnosing SFTs through nuclear STAT6 protein overexpression. Recent studies expanded the phenotypic spectrum of NAB2::STAT6 rearranged neoplasms, including adamantinoma-like and teratocarcinosarcoma-like phenotypes. We report a case of a NAB2::STAT6 rearranged epithelial tumor exhibiting sebaceous differentiation in the parotid gland.

Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) represent distinct biological and genomic entities. Anatomic and geographic heterogeneity in genomic profiling of BTC subtypes, genomic co-alterations, and their impact on long-term outcomes are not well defined.
Methods: Genomic data to characterize alterations among patients with BTCs were derived from the AACR GENIE registry (v15.
Genome organization recapitulates function, yet ciliates like possess highly-specialized germline genomes, which are largely transcriptionally silent. During post-zygotic development, 's germline undergoes large-scale genome editing, rearranging precursor genome elements into a transcriptionally-active genome with thousands of gene-sized nanochromosomes. Transgenerationally-inherited RNAs, derived from the parental somatic genome, program the retention and reordering of germline fragments.

Patients with inv(16) at diagnosis invariably have the rearrangement at relapse, leading to the assumption that is required after leukemic transformation. However, this has yet to be shown experimentally.
