AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers highlighted the underrepresentation of genomic studies on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in younger women.
  • They presented genome sequences from six bacterial isolates linked to UTIs in female patients.
  • The isolates were collected from a college health center in 2019, emphasizing the need for more understanding in this area.

Article Abstract

is a significant cause of urinary tract infections in younger women, but it has been understudied at the genomic level. We report genome sequences of six isolates obtained from female patients who presented with urinary tract infection symptoms at a college health center in 2019.

In the Drosophila brain, neuronal diversity originates from approximately 100 neural stem cells, each dividing asymmetrically. Precise mapping of cell lineages at the single-cell resolution is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that direct neuronal specification. However, existing methods for high-resolution lineage tracing are notably time-consuming and labor-intensive.

A key goal of biology is to understand the origin of the many cell types that can be observed during diverse processes such as development, regeneration, and disease. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is commonly used to identify cell types in a tissue or organ. However, organizing the resulting taxonomy of cell types into lineage trees to understand the origins of cell states and relationships between cells remains challenging.

Backtracking Cell Phylogenies in the Human Brain with Somatic Mosaic Variants.

Somatic mosaic variants, and especially somatic single nucleotide variants (sSNVs), occur in progenitor cells in the developing human brain frequently enough to provide permanent, unique, and cumulative markers of cell divisions and clones. Here, we describe an experimental workflow to perform lineage studies in the human brain using somatic variants. The workflow consists in two major steps: (1) sSNV calling through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bulk (non-single-cell) DNA extracted from human fresh-frozen tissue biopsies, and (2) sSNV validation and cell phylogeny deciphering through single nuclei whole-genome amplification (WGA) followed by targeted sequencing of sSNV loci.

Tracking Somatic Mutations for Lineage Reconstruction.

Methods Mol Biol

The human genome is composed of distinct genomic regions that are susceptible to various types of somatic mutations. Among these, Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) stand out as the most mutable genetic elements. STRs are short repetitive polymorphic sequences, predominantly situated within noncoding sectors of the genome.
