We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from a number of balanced lethal strains in to show that the crossover suppressor is an inversion. The rearrangement is complex, with a large primary inversion that contains several other smaller inverted regions. The graphical representation below depicts these various rearrangements for ease of conceptualization. It is the simplest chromosomal structure compatible with the data currently available, but even then it is worth noting that the complexity of the chromosome can make the graphical reconstruction difficult to understand, and it may seem a bit like relativity theory or artwork from M.C. Escher (https://moa.byu.edu/m-c-eschers-relativity/).

Background: It is crucial to identify post-operative patients with HPV infection who are at high risk for residual/recurrent disease. This study aimed to evaluate the association between HPV integration and clinical outcomes in HPV-positive women after cervical conization, as well as to identify HPV integration breakpoints.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of 791 women who underwent cervical conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2-3 (CIN2-3) between September 2019 and September 2023, sourced from the Fujian and Hubei cervical lesion screening cohorts.

Copy number variation (CNV) is an important part of human genetic variations, which is associated with various kinds of diseases. To tackle the limitations of traditional CNV detection methods, such as restricted detection types, high error rates, and challenges in precisely identifying the location of variant breakpoints, a new method called MSCNV (copy number variations detection method for multi-strategies integration based on a one-class support vector machine model) is proposed. MSCNV establishes a multi-signal channel that integrates three strategies: read depth, split read, and read pair.

Recent outbreaks of PRRSV in live attenuated vaccine-immunized pig farms in Tianjin, China have raised questions about the etiological characteristics and pathogenicity of the PRRSV variant, which remains unknown. In this study, a multiple lineages recombinant PRRSV strain named TJ-C6, was isolated and identified. Phylogenetic trees and genome homology analyses revealed that TJ-C6 belonged to lineage 1.

Recombination contributes substantially to the genetic diversity of HIV-1. Here we reported a novel HIV-1 recombinant detected from a Chinese labor who had been to Uganda as an immigrant worker using nanopore sequencing. Near full-length genome (NFLG) phylogenetic analysis showed that the novel HIV-1 recombinant HIV-sd1801 stood in a distinct branch between the CRF130_A1B/CRF131_A1B and CRF50_A1D/CRF84_A1D reference sequences.

Integration of human papillomavirus (HPV) into the host genome drives HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HPV HNSCC). Whole-genome sequencing of 51 tumors revealed intratumor heterogeneity of HPV integration, with 44% of breakpoints subclonal, and a biased distribution of integration breakpoints across the HPV genome. Four HPV physical states were identified, with at least 49% of tumors progressing without integration.
