The increasing volume of ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq data being generated creates a challenge for standard, integrative and reproducible bioinformatics data analysis platforms. We developed a web-based application called Cistrome, based on the Galaxy open source framework. In addition to the standard Galaxy functions, Cistrome has 29 ChIP-chip- and ChIP-seq-specific tools in three major categories, from preliminary peak calling and correlation analyses to downstream genome feature association, gene expression analyses, and motif discovery. Cistrome is available at http://cistrome.org/ap/.

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), exhibiting remarkable heterogeneity, can be highly infiltrated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, the relationship between Treg and the heterogeneity of RCC remains to be explored.

Methods: We acquired single-cell RNA-seq profiles and 537 bulk RNA-seq profiles of TCGA-KIRC cohort.

Increased nuclear factor I-mediated chromatin access drives transition to androgen receptor splice variant dependence in prostate cancer.

Androgen receptor (AR) splice variants, of which ARv7 is the most common, are increased in castration-resistant prostate cancer, but the extent to which they drive AR activity is unclear. We generated a subline of VCaP cells (VCaP16) that is resistant to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide (ENZ). AR activity in VCaP16 is driven by ARv7, independently of full-length AR (ARfl), and its cistrome and transcriptome mirror those of ARfl in VCaP cells.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal brain tumor with a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel immune-related prognostic model for GBM patients to enhance personalized prognosis prediction and develop effective therapeutic strategies.

Methods: RNA sequencing and clinical data for GBM patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE83300).

Transcriptional regulatory network reveals key transcription factors for regulating agronomic traits in soybean.

State Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics and Germplasm Enhancement and Utilization, Jiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center for Modern Crop Production, Nanjing Agricultural University, No. 1 Weigang, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210095, China.

Background: Transcription factors (TFs) bind regulatory genomic regions to orchestrate spatio-temporal expression of target genes. Global dissection of the cistrome is critical for elucidating transcriptional networks underlying complex agronomic traits in crops.

Results: Here, we generate a comprehensive genome-wide binding map for 148 TFs using DNA affinity purification sequencing in soybean.

Acquired resistance to androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies underscores the need to identify alternative therapeutic targets for treating lethal prostate cancer. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic significance of 1635 human transcription factors (TFs) by analyzing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) datasets from the West and East Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) cohorts. Through this screening approach, we identified E2F8, a putative transcriptional repressor, as a TF consistently associated with poorer patient outcomes in both cohorts.
