Single-cell sequencing has revolutionized our ability to dissect the heterogeneity within tumor populations. In this study, we present LoRA-TV (Low Rank Approximation with Total Variation), a novel method for clustering tumor cells based on the read depth profiles derived from single-cell sequencing data. Traditional analysis pipelines process read depth profiles of each cell individually. By aggregating shared genomic signatures distributed among individual cells using low-rank optimization and robust smoothing, the proposed method enhances clustering performance. Results from analyses of both simulated and real data demonstrate its effectiveness compared with state-of-the-art alternatives, as supported by improvements in the adjusted Rand index and computational efficiency.

The need for high-quality protist genomes has prevented in-depth computational and experimental studies of giant virus-host interactions. In addition, our current knowledge of host range is highly biased due to the few hosts used to isolate novel giant viruses. This study presents 6 high-quality amoeba genomes from known and potential giant virus hosts belonging to 2 distinct eukaryotic clades: Amoebozoa and Discoba.

The CUT&RUN technique facilitates detection of protein-DNA interactions across the genome. Typical applications of CUT&RUN include profiling changes in histone tail modifications or mapping transcription factor chromatin occupancy. Widespread adoption of CUT&RUN is driven, in part, by technical advantages over conventional ChIP-seq that include lower cell input requirements, lower sequencing depth requirements, and increased sensitivity with reduced background signal due to a lack of cross-linking agents that otherwise mask antibody epitopes.

Current clinical testing approaches for individuals with suspected imprinting disorders are complex, often requiring multiple tests performed in a stepwise fashion to make a precise molecular diagnosis. We investigated whether whole-genome long-read sequencing (LRS) could be used as a single data source to simultaneously evaluate copy number variants (CNVs), single nucleotide variants (SNVs), structural variants (SVs), and differences in methylation in a cohort of individuals known to have either Prader-Willi or Angelman syndrome. We evaluated 25 individuals sequenced to an average depth of coverage of 36x on an Oxford Nanopore PromethION.

As one of their key regulatory ecosystem functions, inland lakes serve as CO sinks. The CO sink capacity of inland lakes depends on their water temperature and salinity as well as their water volume which are all highly sensitive to climate conditions. This paper aims to quantitatively estimate the change in the CO sink capacity of Wadi El-Rayan Lakes under climate change scenarios.

Groundwater is a crucial global water resource; however, it faces the threat of depletion and quality degradation due to intensive agriculture and excessive fertilizer use. In India, groundwater assessments focus mainly on exploitation levels and often neglect quality. This study integrates groundwater quality with exploitation data to evaluate groundwater resources in Punjab, India.
