New transcription signals in SARS-CoV-2 reshape virus-host interactions

Sola I, Zuñiga S.

Non-spike changes driving SARS-CoV-2 fitness remain undercharacterized. Two PLOS Biology papers show that evolutionary N gene changes create a transcription-regulating sequence producing a truncated N protein that enhances fitness by blocking antiviral responses.

How do RNA molecules distinguish self from non-self?

Kimchi O, Mitchel K, Pyo AGT, et al.

RNA molecules form homotypic clusters in a variety of contexts. mRNAs enriched in germ granules in <i>Drosophila</i> embryos are a canonical example, with <i>polar granule component</i> (<i>pgc</i>) mRNAs colocalized with other <i>pgc</i> mRNAs, and <i>nanos</i> …

Prothrombin G20210A and Factor V Leiden Variants Are Not Associated With Thrombotic Events in Congenital Heart Disease: An Observational Trial

Ladha FA, VanderPluym C, Mondragon-Estrada E, et al.

<h4>Background</h4>Thrombotic events, including acute ischemic stroke, are more common in individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD). Whether common thrombophilia variants contribute to thrombotic risk in this population remains unclear. We evaluated whether prothrombin G20210A (<i>F2</i> …

Draft genome sequences of &lt;i&gt;Lactococcus petauri&lt;/i&gt; isolated from Nile tilapia (&lt;i&gt;Oreochromis niloticus&lt;/i&gt;) and rainbow trout (&lt;i&gt;Oncorhynchus mykiss&lt;/i&gt;) in Mexican farms

Matínez-Matus E, Ortega-Santana C, Avendaño-Herrera R.

<i>Lactococcus petauri</i> is an emerging fish pathogen linked to septicemia. We report draft genome sequences of two <i>L. petauri</i> isolates from independent lactococcosis outbreaks in Mexican fish farms. This study confirms <i>L. petauri</i> presence in …

m6A Methyltransferase METTL3 Regulates Inflammatory and Immune Microenvironments in Renal Cell Carcinoma via Modulation of the PI3K/AKT Pathway

Cheng T, Xu W, Zha Z, et al.

<h4>Objective</h4>The involvement of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3, an m6A methyltransferase) and the PI3K/AKT pathway in tumor progression and immune regulation remains poorly understood. This study investigates whether METTL3 influences the immune microenvironment of renal cell carcinoma …

The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics study: Design and analytic framework for assessing the impact of genome-informed risk assessments

Limdi N, Beasley TM, Cortopassi J, et al.

The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network developed and implemented a genome-informed risk assessment (GIRA) to communicate genomic (polygenic risk scores [PRSs], integrated risk scores [IRSs], and monogenic results), clinical, and family history-based risk …
