Integration of multi-omics resources reveals genetic features associated with environmental adaptation in the Wuzhishan pig genome.

J Therm Biol

In light of the challenges posed by global climate change, the environmental adaptability of organisms is becoming increasingly important. The Wuzhishan (WZS) pig, tolerant to high heat and humidity, is an ideal model for genomic study. By characterizing its genome and assessing its genetic diversity and runs of homozygosity (ROH), we can gain insights into its current conservation status and genomic architecture.

DNA, a large molecule located in the nucleus, carries essential genetic information, including gene loci and cis-regulatory elements. Despite its extensive length, DNA is compactly stored within the limited space of the nucleus due to its hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) organization. In this structure, DNA is organized into territories known as topologically associated domains (TADs).

Resolving leukemic stem cell heterogeneity and plasticity with single-cell multiomics.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer in which disease initiation and relapse are driven by leukemic cells with stem-like properties, known as leukemic stem cells (LSCs). The LSC compartment is highly heterogenous and this contributes to differences in therapy response. This heterogeneity is determined by genetic and nongenetic factors including somatic mutations, the cell of origin, transcriptional and epigenetic states as well as phenotypic plasticity.

The cellular epigenetic blueprint of plant regeneration.

State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, Beijing Advanced Center of RNA Biology (BEACON), School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking University, 100871, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

Plants exhibit remarkable regenerative capacities, enabling tissue repair, de novo organogenesis, and somatic embryogenesis in response to mechanical injury or phytohormone induction. At the cellular level, this process is driven by the establishment of pluripotency and cell fate specification, regulated through dynamic epigenomic remodeling. Emerging studies have begun to unravel the intricate regulatory circuits governing regeneration in a cell-type- and lineage-specific manner.

Background: Multi-epitope vaccines have become the preferred strategy for protection against infectious diseases by integrating multiple MHC-restricted T-cell and B-cell epitopes that elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses against pathogens. Computational methods address various aspects independently, yet their orchestration is technically challenging, as most bioinformatics tools are accessible through heterogeneous interfaces and lack interoperability features. The present work proposes a novel framework for rationalized multi-epitope vaccine design that streamlines end-to-end analyses through an integrated web-based environment.
