Pancreatic cancer, a malignancy notorious for its late-stage diagnosis and low patient survival rates, remains a formidable global health challenge. The currently available FDA-approved treatments for pancreatic cancer, notably chemotherapeutic agents, exhibit suboptimal efficacy, often accompanied by concerns regarding toxicity. Given the intricate nature of pancreatic cancer pathogenesis and the time-intensive nature of in silico drug discovery approaches, drug repurposing emerges as a compelling strategy to expedite the development of novel therapeutic interventions.

Brain organoids have become a valuable tool for studying human brain development, disease modeling, and drug testing. However, generating brain organoids with mature neurons is time-intensive and often incomplete, limiting their utility in studying age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we report the generation of 3D brain organoids from human fibroblasts through direct reprogramming, with simplicity, efficiency, and reduced variability.

This chapter shows applying the Asymmetric Within-Sample Transformation to single-cell RNA-Seq data matched with a previous dropout imputation. The asymmetric transformation is a special winsorization that flattens low-expressed intensities and preserves highly expressed gene levels. Before a standard hierarchical clustering algorithm, an intermediate step removes noninformative genes according to a threshold applied to a per-gene entropy estimate.

The current PRO-seq protocol is time-intensive, technically challenging, and requires a large amount of starting material. To overcome these limitations, we developed rapid PRO-seq (rPRO-seq) which utilizes pre-adenylated single-stranded DNAs (AppDNA), a dimer blocking oligonucleotide (DBO), on-bead 5' RNA end repair, and column-based purification.

New or emerging infectious diseases are commonly caused by pathogens that cannot be readily manipulated or studied under common laboratory conditions. These limitations hinder standard experimental approaches and our abilities to define the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis. The advance of capped small RNA sequencing (csRNA-seq) now enables genome-wide mapping of actively initiated transcripts from genes and other regulatory transcribed start regions (TSRs) such as enhancers at a precise moment from total RNA.
