Mitochondria are organelles with their own genomes, but they rely on the import of nuclear-encoded proteins that translated by cytosolic ribosomes. Therefore, it is important to understand whether failures in mitochondrial uptake these can cause proteotoxic stress and identify response mechanisms may counteract it. Here, we report upon impairments protein import, high-risk precursor immature forms form aberrant deposits cytosol. These then further accumulation consequently aggregation other...

Abstract Long-read RNA sequencing is essential to produce accurate and exhaustive annotation of eukaryotic genomes. Despite advancements in throughput accuracy, achieving reliable end-to-end identification transcripts remains a challenge for long-read methods. To address this limitation, we develop CapTrap-seq, cDNA library preparation method, which combines the Cap-trapping strategy with oligo(dT) priming detect 5’ capped, full-length transcripts. In our study, evaluate performance...

GENCODE produces comprehensive reference gene annotation for human and mouse. Entering its twentieth year, the project remains highly active as new technologies methodologies allow us to catalog genome at ever-increasing granularity. In particular, long-read transcriptome sequencing enables identify large numbers of missing transcripts substantially improve existing models, our long non-coding RNA catalogs have undergone a dramatic expansion reconfiguration result. Meanwhile, we are...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common and severe form of acute diagnosed in adults. Owing to its heterogeneity, AML divided into classes associated with different treatment outcomes specific gene expression profiles. Based on previous studies AML, this study, we designed generated an AML-array containing 900 oligonucleotide probes complementary human genes implicated hematopoietic cell differentiation maturation, proliferation, apoptosis leukemic transformation.

Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a large, yet mostly uncharacterized fraction of the mammalian transcriptome. Such characterization requires comprehensive, high-quality annotation their gene structure and boundaries, which is currently lacking. Here we describe RACE-Seq, an experimental workflow designed to address this based on RACE (rapid amplification cDNA ends) long-read RNA sequencing. We apply RACE-Seq 398 human lncRNA genes in seven tissues, leading discovery 2,556...

Abstract Accurate and complete gene annotations are indispensable for understanding how genome sequences encode biological functions. For twenty years, the GENCODE consortium has developed reference human mouse genomes, becoming a foundation biomedical genomics communities worldwide. Nevertheless, collections of important yet poorly-understood classes like long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) remain incomplete scattered across multiple, uncoordinated catalogs, slowing down progress in field. To...

Abstract Accurate annotations of genes and their transcripts is a foundation genomics, but no annotation technique presently combines throughput accuracy. As result, reference gene collections remain incomplete: many models are fragmentary, while thousands more uncatalogued–particularly for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). To accelerate lncRNA annotation, the GENCODE consortium has developed RNA Capture Long Seq (CLS), combining targeted capture with third-generation long-read sequencing. We...
