Background: Autologous CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy leads to durable responses and improved survival in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL). Among approved CAR T-cell products, axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; CD19/CD28) has greater real-world efficacy and cytokine-associated toxicity than tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel; CD19/4-1BB), for reasons that are poorly understood.

Methods: Here we report single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of 57 pre-infusion CAR T-cell products from axi-cel (n=39) and tisa-cel (n=18) patients treated as standard-of-care for R/R LBCL, and their biological associations with clinical outcomes.

Background: Alternative mRNA splicing can be dysregulated in cancer, resulting in the generation of aberrant splice variants (SVs). Given the paucity of actionable genomic mutations in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), aberrant SVs may be an avenue to novel mechanisms of pathogenesis.

Objective: To identify and characterize aberrant SVs enriched in ccRCC.

High-throughput transcriptomic and proteomic analyses are now routinely applied to study cancer biology. However, complex omics integration remains challenging and often time-consuming. Here, we developed DRPPM-EASY, an R Shiny framework for integrative multi-omics analysis.

The genus Procambarus represents a diverse genus of freshwater crayfish that includes epigean species, stygobitic species, and at least one parthenogenic species. Despite its evolutionary, ecological, and economic importance, most genomic and transcriptomic resources for this genus are limited to a couple of model species. We sequenced the transcriptome of a non-model species, P.

Despite the growing resources and tools for high-throughput characterization and analysis of genomic information, the discovery of the genetic elements that regulate complex traits remains a challenge. Systems genetics is an emerging field that aims to understand the flow of biological information that underlies complex traits from genotype to phenotype. In this study, we used a systems genetics approach to identify and evaluate regulators of the lignin biosynthesis pathway in by combining genome, transcriptome, and phenotype data from a population of 268 unrelated individuals of The discovery of lignin regulators began with the quantitative genetic analysis of the xylem transcriptome and resulted in the detection of 6706 and 4628 significant local- and distant-eQTL associations, respectively.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a mechanism of regulation of the proteome via enabling the production of multiple mRNAs from a single gene. To date, the dynamics of AS and its effects on the protein sequences of individuals in a large and genetically unrelated population of trees have not been investigated. Here we describe the diversity of AS events within a previously genotyped population of 268 individuals of and their putative downstream functional effects.

KEY MESSAGE: The timing and transcriptomic changes during the C to CAM transition of common ice plant support the notion that guard cells themselves can shift from C to CAM. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized type of photosynthesis: stomata close during the day, enhancing water conservation, and open at night, allowing CO uptake. Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is a facultative CAM species that can shift from C photosynthesis to CAM under salt or drought stresses.

During infection, (CTV) produces a non-coding subgenomic RNA referred to as low-molecular-weight tristeza 1 (LMT1), which for a long time has been considered as a by-product of the complex CTV replication machinery. In this study, we investigated the role of LMT1 in the virus infection cycle using a CTV variant that does not produce LMT1 (CTV-LMT1d). We showed that lack of LMT1 did not halt virus ability to replicate or form proper virions.
