Chromosome-scale Genome Assembly of the Critically Endangered Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (Pterorhinus courtoisi, Leiothrichidae)

Ouyang Y, Yang L, Cheng B, et al.

The Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (Pterorhinus courtoisi) is a critically endangered species and listed as National First-class Protected Wildlife in China, with a small population size and highly restricted geographic distribution in Jiangxi Province. However, the genetic …

Beyond blacklists: a critical assessment of exclusion set generation strategies and alternative approaches

Wall BPG, Ogata JD, Nguyen M, et al.

<h4>Motivation</h4>Short-read sequencing data can be affected by alignment artifacts in certain genomic regions. Removing reads overlapping these exclusion regions, previously known as Blacklists, help to potentially improve biological signal. Alternatively, "sponge" or decoy sequences have …

Advances in Spatial Multi-Omics in Gastric Cancer

Yan H, Liu Y.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major global health burden, with its unfavorable prognosis primarily driven by extensive tumor heterogeneity. Traditional bulk omics, while informative, are inherently limited by the averaging effect of diverse cell populations …

Decoding neurodegeneration one cell at a time

Gautier O, Nguyen TP, Gitler AD.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by protein misfolding and the selective vulnerability of specific neuronal subtypes. This selective vulnerability presents a paradox; most neurodegenerative disease genes are expressed broadly throughout the brain, and some ubiquitously, but …

Persistent interferon signaling and clonal expansion mark early events in DNA methylation damage-induced liver cancer

Pribyl LJ, Kay JE, Corrigan JJ, et al.

<i>N</i>-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, induces toxic and mutagenic DNA <i>O</i> <sup>6</sup>-methylguanine (<i>O</i> <sup>6</sup>MeG) adducts that are repaired by <i>O</i> <sup>6</sup>-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). To elucidate how early-life environmental mutagenic exposures promote latent liver tumorigenesis, …

Decoding Occult Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: From AI-Driven Multimodal Fusion to Clinical Translation

Lin Y, Hanna E, Pan X, et al.

<h4>Purpose of review</h4>This review examines the limitations of conventional macroscopic approaches in detecting occult cervical lymph node metastasis (OCLNM). It also explores how multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) driven cross-scale multimodal integration are reshaping …

Multi-Omics Biomarkers From Variant to Clinic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Evidence, AI/ML, Governance, Equity, and Real-World Implementation Across Global Health Systems

Das N.

<h4>Background/purpose</h4>Multi-omics integration linking genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, proteomic, metabolomic, single-cell, and spatial data has transformed the interpretation of human genetic variation by capturing molecular processes that extend beyond DNA sequence alone. Although these approaches substantially improve …

Advances in seed omics

Auroux L, Liew LC, Whelan J, et al.

Seeds provide 70% of the global food supply, making them crucial for food security. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing seed development, dormancy, and germination has become increasingly urgent as climate change impacts crop productivity. Over …

Advances in single-cell and spatial omics for studying symbiotic nitrogen fixation: comparative cellular and evolutionary perspectives

Shi Y, Liu H, Yang W, et al.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics have revolutionized studies of symbiotic nitrogen fixation by resolving cellular heterogeneity, spatial gene-expression, and regulatory dynamics within root nodules. Recent investigations in model legumes have revealed conserved and species-specific programs controlling …
