Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as depletion of ovarian function before 40 years of age, which affects 3.7% of women in reproductive age. The etiology of POI is heterogeneous. Recently, with the widespread use of whole-exome sequencing (WES), the DNA repair genes, especially for those involved in meiosis progress, were enriched in the causative gene spectrum of POI. In this study, through the largest in-house WES database of 1,030 patients with sporadic POI, we identified two novel homozygous variations in (c.382T>C, p.C128R; c.557T>C, p.L186P). An functional study revealed that both variations impaired the nuclear location of HSF2BP and affected its DNA repair capacity. Our studies highlighted the essential role of meiotic homologous recombination genes in the pathogenesis of sporadic POI.

Genomic analysis has played a significant role in the identification of driver mutations that are linked to disease progression and response to drug treatment in ovarian cancer. A prominent example is the stratification of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) characterized by mutations in DNA damage repair genes such as for treatment with PARP inhibitors. However, recent studies have shown that some epithelial ovarian tumors respond to PARP inhibitors irrespective of their HRD or mutation status.

Anelloviruses are a group of small, circular, single-stranded DNA viruses that are found ubiquitously across mammalian hosts. Here, we explored a large number of publicly available human microbiome datasets and retrieved a total of 829 anellovirus genomes, substantially expanding the known diversity of these viruses. The majority of new genomes fall within the three major human anellovirus genera: , and , while we also present new genomes of the under-sampled , and genera.

Background: Ogataea polymorpha, a non-conventional methylotrophic yeast, has demonstrated significant potential for heterologous protein expression and the production of high-value chemicals and biopharmaceuticals. However, the lack of precise and efficient genome editing tools severely hinders the construction of cell factories. Although the CARISP-Cas9 system has been established in Ogataea polymorpha, the gene editing efficiency, especially for multiple genes edition, needs to be further improved.
