Transposable elements (TEs) play a crucial role in placental development and dysfunction. Our study examined TE expression in pre-eclampsia (PE) using RNA-seq datasets. We identified differentially expressed TEs and explored the genomic location of the most significant TEs, investigating their possible regulatory roles. Notably, three TEs overlapped with putative enhancer regions, suggesting a potential regulatory impact on gene expression. These findings highlight the regulatory potential of TEs and their importance in placental development, supporting that TE dysregulation may contribute to PE pathogenesis.

Unlabelled: is one of the three most frequently mutated genes in age-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH), alongside and . CH can progress to myeloid malignancies including chronic monomyelocytic leukemia (CMML), and is also strongly associated with inflammatory cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in humans. DNMT3A and TET2 regulate DNA methylation and demethylation pathways respectively, and loss-of-function mutations in these genes reduce DNA methylation in heterochromatin, allowing de-repression of silenced elements in heterochromatin.

Stinging nettles () have a long history of association with human civilization, having been used as a source of textile fibers, food and medicine. Here, we present a chromosome-level, phased genome assembly for a diploid female clone of from Romania. Using a combination of PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore, and Illumina sequencing, as well as Hi-C long-range interaction data (using a novel Hi-C protocol presented here), we assembled two haplotypes of 574.

Plants host a range of DNA elements capable of self-replication. These molecules, usually associated to the activity of transposable elements or viruses, are found integrated in the genome or in the form of extrachromosomal DNA. The activity of these elements can impact genome plasticity by a variety of mechanisms, including the generation of structural variants, the shuffling of regulatory or coding DNA sequences across the genome, and DNA endoduplication.
