Cancer Genomes Sometimes Take the Longest Evolutionary Road.

Published: October 2024

Baker and colleagues developed a new algorithm called "Gain Route Identification and Timing In Cancer" (GRITIC) to uncover the path of chromosomal evolution in a tumor, particularly in the context of whole-genome duplication. Their approach found that tumors with genome doubling frequently take an indirect path from one copy number state to another. In addition, the timing of genome doubling within a tumor's evolution impacts its consequences on downstream chromosomal instability. See related article by Baker et al., p. 1810.

Contribution of crossing over to genetic variance in maize and wheat populations.

Plant Genome

March 2025

Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA.

Crossing over breaks linkages and leads to a wider array of allele combinations. My objective was to assess the contribution of crossing over to genetic variance (V) in maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Synergistic and antagonistic relationships between cytokinins and other plant growth regulators are important in response to changing environmental conditions. Our study aimed to determine the functions of SlHP2 and SlHP3, two members of cytokinin signaling in tomato, in drought stress response using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis. Ten distinct genome-edited lines were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer and confirmed through Sanger sequencing.

Objective: Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). S1P receptor expression on cardiac cells is involved in cardiac conduction. We report cardiovascular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) associated with S1P receptor modulators and other cardiovascular events in the etrasimod UC clinical programme.

One-pot ligation of multiple mRNA fragments on dsDNA splint advancing regional modification and translation.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Bio-resource and Eco-environment of Ministry of Education, The College of Life Sciences, Sichuan University, 24 South Section 1, 1st Ring Road, Chengdu, Sichuan 610064, P.R. China.

Region-specific RNA modifications are crucial for advancing RNA research and therapeutics, including messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines and immunotherapy. However, the predominant method, synthesizing regionally modified mRNAs with short single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) splints, encounters challenges in ligating long mRNA fragments due to the formation of RNA self-folded complex structures. To address this issue, we developed an efficient strategy using an easily obtained long double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as a ligation splint after in situ denaturing, while parts of this dsDNA are the templates for transcribing mRNA fragments.

Genetic dissection of flag leaf morphology traits and fine mapping of a novel QTL (Qflw.sxau-6BL) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Theor Appl Genet

January 2025

Institute of Wheat Research, Key Laboratory of Sustainable Dryland Agriculture (Co-construction by Ministry and Province) Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Shanxi Agricultural University, Linfen, China.

Total 60-QRC for FLM traits were detected by meta-genomics analysis, nine major and stable QTL identified by DH population and validated, and a novel QTL  Qflw.sxau-6BL was fine mapped. The flag leaf is an "ideotypic" morphological trait providing photosynthetic assimilates in wheat.
