Repetitive elements (REs) constitute a substantial portion of the genomes of human and other species; however, the RE profiles (type, density, and arrangement) within the individual genomes have not been fully characterized. In this study, we developed an RE analysis tool, called REMiner, for a chromosome-wide investigation into the occurrence of individual REs and arrangement of clusters of REs, and REMiner's functional features were examined using the human chromosome Y. The algorithm implemented by REMiner focused on unbiased mining of REs in large chromosomes and data interface within a viewer. The data from the chromosome demonstrated that REMiner is an efficient tool in regard to its capacity for a large query size and the availability of a high-resolution viewer, featuring instant retrieval of alignment data and control of magnification and identity ratio. The chromosome-wide survey identified a diverse population of ordered RE arrangements, which may participate in the genome biology.

CancerHubs: a systematic data mining and elaboration approach for identifying novel cancer-related protein interaction hubs.

Conventional approaches to predict protein involvement in cancer often rely on defining either aberrant mutations at the single-gene level or correlating/anti-correlating transcript levels with patient survival. These approaches are typically conducted independently and focus on one protein at a time, overlooking nucleotide substitutions outside of coding regions or mutational co-occurrences in genes within the same interaction network. Here, we present CancerHubs, a method that integrates unbiased mutational data, clinical outcome predictions and interactomics to define novel cancer-related protein hubs.

Article Synopsis
- iModulonDB is a centralized database launched in 2020, focusing on iModulons—sets of co-expressed genes identified through independent component analysis of transcriptomic data, enhancing our understanding of transcriptional regulatory networks in organisms.
- The recent update significantly expands the database, adding 19 new ICA decompositions, over 8,900 expression profiles, and features for 12 additional organisms, making it a more comprehensive resource for researchers.
- New tools, interactive graphs, and improved interfaces facilitate user engagement and analysis of genetic regulation, allowing scientists to quickly access information regarding experimental conditions and explore related resources.
APC mutations dysregulate alternative polyadenylation in cancer.
Genome Biol

Background: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) affects most human genes and is recurrently dysregulated in all studied cancers. However, the mechanistic origins of this dysregulation are incompletely understood.
Results: We describe an unbiased analysis of molecular regulators of poly(A) site selection across The Cancer Genome Atlas and identify that colorectal adenocarcinoma is an outlier relative to all other cancer subtypes.

Spermatogenesis is a complex biological process crucial for male reproduction and is characterized by intricate interactions between testicular somatic cells and germ cells. Due to the cellular heterogeneity of the testes, investigating different cell types across developmental stages has been challenging. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a valuable approach for addressing this limitation.

Background: The optimization of patient care pathways is crucial for hospital managers in the context of a scarcity of medical resources. Assuming unlimited capacities, the pathway of a patient would only be governed by pure medical logic to meet at best the patient's needs. However, logistical limitations (eg, resources such as inpatient beds) are often associated with delayed treatments and may ultimately affect patient pathways.
