Joint profiling of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility within single cells allows for the deconstruction complex relationship between transcriptional states upstream regulatory programs determining different cell fates. Here, we developed an automated method with high sensitivity, assay single-cell regions (ASTAR-seq), simultaneous measurement whole-cell same cell. To show utility ASTAR-seq, profiled 384 mESCs under naive primed pluripotent as well a two-cell like state, 424 human...

H3.3 is a histone variant, which deposited on genebodies and regulatory elements, by Hira, marking active transcription. Moreover, heterochromatin Atrx/Daxx complex. The exact role of in cell fate transition remains elusive. Here, we investigate the dynamic changes deposition variant during cellular reprogramming. maintains identities parental cells reprogramming as its removal at early time-point enhances efficiency process. We find that plays similar transdifferentiation to hematopoietic...

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A), the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA, is installed by a multi-component writer complex; however, exact roles of each component remain poorly understood. Here we show that potential E3 ubiquitin ligase Hakai colocalizes and interacts with other m A components, mutants exhibit typical pathway defects Drosophila , such as lowered levels aberrant Sxl alternative splicing, wing behavior defects. Hakai, Vir, Fl(2)d Flacc form stable...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Diabetes Mellitus is a major non-communicable disease with significant increase in prevalence, especially low and middle-income countries. The latest IDF Atlas (2025) reports that 11,1%, or about 1 9, of the adult population (20-79 years old) living diabetes, over 4 10 unaware they have condition. This Prevalence expected to 8 adults by year 2050. Early diagnosis treatment reduces risk slows progression debilitating complications such as amputation, vision...

Dopamine D₂ receptor (DRD2) is important for normal function of the brain reward circuit. Lower DRD2 in increases risk substance abuse, obesity, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and depression. Moreover, target most antipsychotics currently use. It well known that dopamine-induced endocytosis its desensitization. However, it remains controversial whether recycled back to plasma membrane or targeted degradation following dopamine stimulation. Here, we used total internal reflection...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to regulate tumor response many anti-cancer therapies, including oncolytic virotherapy. Oncolytic virotherapy employing paramyxoviruses, such as attenuated measles (MeV) and mumps (MuV) viruses, has demonstrated therapeutic potential against various malignancies. However, the of TAMs paramyxoviruses consequent effect on virotherapeutic efficacy remains be characterized. Here, we demonstrate that presence human monocyte-derived (MDMs),...

Telomeric regions are known to be transcribed in several organisms. Although originally reported from all chromosomes with enrichment near the inactive X of female cells, we show that telomeric RNAs fact enriched on both sex mouse a developmentally specific manner. In stem active Xs marked by RNAs. male and Y accumulate RNA. Distribution changes during cell differentiation, after which they associate only heterochromatic each sex. FISH mapping suggests accumulated localize at distal end....

Oncolytic measles and mumps viruses (MeV, MuV) have a potential for anti-cancer treatment. We examined the anti-tumor activity of MeV, MuV, MeV-MuV combination (MM) against human solid malignancies (HSM). MM targeted significantly killed various cancer cell lines HSM but not normal cells. demonstrated greater effect prolonged survival in prostate xenograft tumor model compared to MeV MuV. induced expression immunogenic death markers enhanced spleen-infiltrating immune In conclusion, improves...

Purpose. A recently identified colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, has been reported in many countries. In this study, we established a new real-time PCR method to detect it. Methodology. We used the mcr-1 gene variety of isolates and faecal samples from 20 provinces municipal cities China. Results. Of 2330 (from 10 species) screened, 54 (2.3 %) were positive for mcr-1. All mcr-1-positive that belonged Escherichia coli strains, among which 9, 1, 44 as enteropathogenic E. coli, enteroadherent...

We double-tagged Xist (inactivated X chromosome-specific transcript), a prototype long non-coding RNA pivotal for chromosome inactivation (XCI), using the programmable sequence binding domain of Pumilio protein, one tag live-cell imaging and other replacing A-repeat (a critical Xist) to generate "ΔA mutant" tether effector proteins dissecting functionality. Based on observation in live cells that induced XCI undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) is counteracted by intrinsic reactivation...

With the advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies, RNA-seq has rapidly emerged as a powerful tool for quantitative analysis of gene expression and transcript variant discovery. In comparative experiments, differential is commonly performed on data to identify genes/features that are differentially expressed between biological conditions. Most existing statistical methods parametric assume either Poisson distribution or negative binomial read counts. However, violation...
