This study reports the first mitogenome from the antipatharian (black coral) genus (GenBank accession number ON653414). The 20,452 bp mitochondrial genome of cf LS-2022 consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and two tRNA genes ( and ). The mitogenome is typical of other antipatharian families, including an A + T biased (64.1%) base composition and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I () intron with embedded homing endonuclease gene (). A phylogenetic tree based on complete mitogenome sequences of currently available antipatharians indicates cf LS-2022 is sister and closely related to sp. SCBUCN-8849. However, it seems unlikely that intergeneric taxa share 99.97% similarity across their complete mitogenomes, raising questions about the current taxonomy of this group. This study highlights the need for additional vouchered antipatharian species to be sequenced so phylogenetic relationships can be compared with accepted taxonomy.

Recently, a proxy for DNA mechanics, cyclizability, was measured by loop-seq and enabled genome-scale investigation of DNA mechanics. Here, we use this dataset to build a computational model predicting bias-corrected intrinsic cyclizability, with near-perfect accuracy, solely based on DNA sequence.

Overactivation of TRPV1 can lead to cellular damage or death through excitotoxicity, a phenomenon associated with painful neuropathy and the paradoxical use of capsaicin as an analgesic. We exploited capsaicin-evoked death to conduct a systematic analysis of excitotoxicity through a genome-wide CRISPRi screen, thereby revealing a comprehensive network of regulatory pathways.

The mtDNA is often not specifically evaluated in patients with suspected Mendelian disease, resulting in overlooked diagnostic variants.
Methods: Using dedicated pipelines to address the technical challenges posed by the mtDNA - circular genome, variant heteroplasmy, and nuclear misalignment - single nucleotide variants, small indels, and large mtDNA deletions were called from exome and genome sequencing data, in addition to RNA-sequencing when available.
De novo assembly of the mitochondrial genome of Glycyrrhiza glabra and identification of two types of homologous recombination configurations caused by repeat sequences.

Background: Glycyrrhiza glabra, which is widely used in medicine and therapy, is known as the 'king of traditional Chinese medicine'. In this study, we successfully assembled and annotated the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of G. glabra via high-throughput sequencing technology, combining the advantages of short-read (Illumina) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore) sequencing.
