    Enhancing CRISPR prime editing by reducing misfolded pegRNA interactions

    Weiting Zhang, Karl Petri ... Jing-Ruey Joanna Yeh
    Strategic pegRNA designs and other approaches mitigating 5' and 3' interactions within pegRNAs can often lead to substantial improvements in prime editing efficiency.

    DUX4 is a common driver of immune evasion and immunotherapy failure in metastatic cancers

    Jose Mario Bello Pineda, Robert K Bradley
    DUX4 expression is a common feature of metastatic tumors, where it is significantly associated with immune cell exclusion, decreased objective response to immune checkpoint blockade, and reduced patient survival.

    Aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote chondrocyte apoptosis and extracullar matrix degradation in hemophilic arthropathy via AKT signaling

    Jiali Chen, Qinghe Zeng ... Hongting Jin
    Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.

    Fetal growth delay caused by loss of non-canonical imprinting is resolved late in pregnancy and culminates in offspring overgrowth

    Ruby Oberin, Sigrid Petautschnig ... Patrick S Western
    Growth-delayed offspring generated from eggs that lacked normal epigenetic programming exhibited a remarkable capacity to undergo late gestational fetal growth recovery, despite inefficient placental function.

    Biobank-wide association scan identifies risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and endophenotypes

    Donghui Yan, Bowen Hu ... Qiongshi Lu
    BADGERS, as a new powerful method for conducting polygenic score-based biobank-wide association scans, identified 48 significant associations for AD and 41 significant associations for a variety of AD endophenotypes.

    Spotless, a reproducible pipeline for benchmarking cell type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics

    Chananchida Sang-aram, Robin Browaeys ... Yvan Saeys
    Estimating cell type composition from a gene expression mixture remains a challenging task, as evidenced by how a simple regression model outperforms many state-of-the-art spatial deconvolution methods.

    Signatures of transposon-mediated genome inflation, host specialization, and photoentrainment in Entomophthora muscae and allied entomophthoralean fungi

    Jason E Stajich, Brian Lovett ... Carolyn Elya
    Entomophthora muscae has one of the largest fungal genomes (1.03 Gb) owing to extensive proliferation of transposable elements.

    Epistasis facilitates functional evolution in an ancient transcription factor

    Brian PH Metzger, Yeonwoo Park ... Joseph W Thornton
    A complete mutational scan of a protein-DNA interface shows that pairwise epistatic interactions among amino acids determine a transcription factor's specificity for DNA and facilitate the evolution of new functions.
