Identifying functional elements and predicting mechanistic insight from non-coding DNA and noncoding variation remains a challenge. Advances in genome-scale, high-throughput technology, however, have brought these answers closer within reach than ever, though there is still a need for new computational approaches to analysis and integration. This workshop aims to explore these resources and new computational methods applied to regulatory elements, chromatin interactions, non-protein-coding genes, and other non-coding DNA.

Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) is a homologous recombination-dependent telomere elongation mechanism utilized by at least 10-15% of all cancers. Here we identified that the DNA topoisomerase, TOP3A is enriched at the telomeres of ALT cells but not at the telomeres of telomerase-positive (Tel) cancer cells. We demonstrate that TOP3A stabilizes the shelterin protein TERF2 in ALT cancer cell lines but not in Tel cells and that long non-coding telomere transcribed RNA (TERRA) enrichment at telomeres depends upon TOP3A.

Here, we have discussed the molecular mechanisms of p53-responsive microRNAs dysregulation in response to genotoxic stress in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. The role of micro ribonucleic acids (microRNAs) in p53-signaling cellular stress has been studied. MicroRNAs are the small non-coding RNAs, which regulate genes expression at post-transcriptional level.

Mannheimia haemolytica is one of the most common causative agents of bovine respiratory disease (BRD); however, antibiotic resistance in this species is increasing, making treatment more difficult. Integrative-conjugative elements (ICE), a subset of mobile genetic elements (MGE), encoding up to 100 genes have been reported in Mannheimia haemolytica genomes to confer multidrug resistance, including resistance to antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of BRD. However, the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) does not always agree with phenotypic resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of miR-483-5p in regulating the overexpression of IGF2 and H19, which are linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • miR-483-5p enhances IGF2 and H19 expression by binding to their enhancer, activating transcription, and promoting new interactions between the enhancer and gene promoters through chromatin loops.
  • The research highlights that MED1 is crucial in this process, influencing both chromatin structure and the aggressive behavior of HCC cells, indicating potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains the most common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of GC and, therefore, may be potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Our work was aimed at investigating the predicted regulation of by miR-129-5p and miR-3613-3p and the clinical value of their aberrant expression in GC.
