Article Abstract
We have developed AspAlt-a web-based comparative analytical platform for exploring the variations in alternative transcription (AT) events and alternative splicing (AS) events in eukaryotes. AspAlt provides integrated access to 2.1 million AT-AS annotations from 1,58,876 multi-isoform genes and has the following user-friendly analytical features: (1) advanced graphical display to visualize and analyze AT-AS events in 46 eukaryotic genomes; (2) compare and identify the differences in AT-AS patterns among a group of genes specified by the user or among homologous gene groups; (3) inter-database comparative viewer to analyze the differences in the AT-AS annotations for the same gene among Ensembl, RefSeq and AceView databases; (4) dynamically classify and generate graphical plots of AT-AS events from mRNA annotations submitted by the user; and (5) download genomic AT-AS annotations of 46 eukaryotes in XML and tab-delimited formats. The AspAlt resource is available at http://66.170.16.154/AspAlt.

Growing evidence highlights the importance of body composition (BC), including bone, muscle, and adipose tissue (AT), as a critical biomarker for cardiometabolic risk stratification. However, conventional methods for quantifying BC components using medical images are hindered by labor-intensive workflows and limited anatomical coverage. This study developed BioCompNet-an end-to-end deep learning workflow that integrates dual-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences (water/fat) with a hierarchical U-Net architecture to enable fully automated quantification of 15 biomechanically critical BC components.

Adipose tissue (AT) is a complex connective tissue with a high relative proportion of adipocytes, which are specialized cells with the ability to store lipids in large droplets. AT is found in multiple discrete depots throughout the body, where it serves as the primary repository for excess calories. In addition, AT has an important role in functions as diverse as insulation, immunity and regulation of metabolic homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unexplored variations in DNA methylation at CpG sites in airway epithelial cells from children with and without allergic asthma, using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
- Researchers designed a custom array to highlight these high-value CpGs and used it alongside existing arrays to analyze allergic sensitization in children from different birth cohorts.
- Results showed that the custom array contained CpGs with intermediate methylation levels, which were significantly associated with allergic sensitization and gene expression regulation.
First high-quality genome assembly data of sago palm ( Rottboll).

The sago palm ( Rottboll) is a tropical halophytic starch-producing, economically important crop palm mainly located in Southeast Asian countries. Recently, a genome survey was conducted on this palm using the Illumina sequencing platform, with a very low (21.5%) BUSCO genome completeness score, and most of them (∼78%) are either fragmented or missing.
