Article Abstract

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is an ongoing collaborative research project aimed at identifying all the functional elements in the human and mouse genomes. Data generated by the ENCODE consortium are freely accessible at the ENCODE portal (https://www.encodeproject.org/), which is developed and maintained by the ENCODE Data Coordinating Center (DCC). Since the initial portal release in 2013, the ENCODE DCC has updated the portal to make ENCODE data more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Here, we report on recent updates, including new ENCODE data and assays, ENCODE uniform data processing pipelines, new visualization tools, a dataset cart feature, unrestricted public access to ENCODE data on the cloud (Amazon Web Services open data registry, https://registry.opendata.aws/encode-project/) and more comprehensive tutorials and documentation.

is one of the three most frequently mutated genes in age-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH), alongside and (. CH can progress to myeloid malignancies including chronic monomyelocytic leukemia (CMML) and is also strongly associated with inflammatory cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in humans. DNMT3A and TET2 regulate DNA methylation and demethylation pathways, respectively, and loss-of-function mutations in these genes reduce DNA methylation in heterochromatin, allowing derepression of silenced elements in heterochromatin.

Identification of immune suppressor candidates utilizing comparative transcriptional profiling in histiocytic sarcoma.

Cancer Immunol Immunother

January 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare yet lethal malignancy with no established standard of care therapies. A lack of pre-clinical models limits our understanding of HS pathogenesis and identification of therapeutic targets. Canine HS shares multiple clinical and genetic similarities with human HS, supporting its use as a unique translational model.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Institut de l'Audition/Institut Pasteur, Paris, France.

Background: Memory consolidation is an essential process for our everyday lives that is severely disrupted in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Memories are initially encoded in the hippocampus before being consolidated in the neocortex by synaptic plasticity processes that depend on protein synthesis. However, how molecular pathways affect synaptic signalling during memory consolidation in health and disease is unclear.

Background: Mitochondria are organelles where energy production takes place via oxidative phosphorylation, thus mitochondrial function influences the organs with large energy consumption, such as the brain. Mitochondria contain their own circular genome (mtDNA), which encodes essential proteins/RNAs involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The maternal inheritance of mtDNA, combined with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) observed in females, suggest mtDNA may have a role in AD.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA.

Background: Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the leading cause of dementia and a major contributor to increased mortality. Recent human datasets have revealed many LOAD genetic risk factors that are correlated with the degree of AD burden. Further, the complexity and heterogeneity of LOAD appears to be promoted by interactions between genetics and environmental factors such as diet, sedentary behavior, and exposure to toxicants, like lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As).
