In this paper, we investigate througth a premilinary study the influence of repeat elements during the assembly process. We analyze the link between the presence and the nature of one type of repeat element, called transposable element (TE) and misassembly events in genome assemblies. We propose to improve assemblies by taking into account the presence of repeat elements, including TEs, during the scaffolding step. We analyze the results and relate the misassemblies to TEs before and after correction.

The implementation of site-specific integration (SSI) systems in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can alleviate concerns associated with production instability and reduce cell line development timelines. SSI cell line performance is driven by the interaction between genomic integration location, clonal background, and the transgene expression cassette, requiring optimization of all three parameters to maximize productivity. Systematic comparison of these parameters has been hindered by SSI platforms involving low-throughput enrichment strategies, such as cell sorting.

Background: The detection of genetic sequences represents the gold standard procedure for species discrimination, genetic characterisation of tumours, and identification of pathogens. The development of new molecular detection methods, accessible and cost effective, is of great relevance. Biosensors based on plasmonic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), provide a powerful and versatile platform for highly sensitive, economic, user-friendly and label-free sensing.

Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway is a telomerase-independent mechanism that utilizes homology-directed repair (HDR) to sustain telomere length in specific cancers. Biomolecular condensates, such as ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (APBs), have emerged as critical players in the ALT pathway, supporting telomere maintenance in ALT-positive cells. These condensates bring together DNA repair proteins, telomeric repeats, and other regulatory elements.
