Motivation: Next-generation sequencing has become an important tool in molecular biology. Various protocols to investigate genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic features across virtually all species and tissues have been devised. For most of these experiments, one of the first crucial steps of bioinformatic analysis is the mapping of reads to reference genomes.
Results: Here, we present thorough benchmarks of our read aligner segemehl in comparison with other state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we introduce the tool lack to rescue unmapped RNA-seq reads which works in conjunction with segemehl and many other frequently used split-read aligners.
Availability: lack is distributed together with segemehl and freely available at www.bioinf.uni-leipzig.de/Software/segemehl/.

Oncogenic Human Papillomaviruses Drive One-Third of Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Are Not Mutually Exclusive for Gene Mutations.
Head Neck
January 2025
Departement de Pathologie, Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire Montpellier, Montpellier, France.
Background: The detection rate of oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SNSCCs) varies among studies. The mutational landscape of SNSCCs remains poorly investigated.
Methods: We investigated the prevalence and prognostic significance of HPV infections based on p16 protein expression, HPV-DNA detection, and E6/E7 mRNA expression using immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction, and in situ hybridization, respectively.
