Deoxyinosine (dI) is a highly mutagenic lesion that preferentially pairs with deoxycytidine during replication, which may induce A to G transition and ultimately contribute to carcinogenesis. Therefore, finding the site of dI modification in DNA is of great value for both basic research and clinical applications. Herein, we developed a novel method to sequence the dI modification site in DNA, which utilizes endonuclease V (EndoV)-dependent deamination repair to specifically label the modification site with biotin-14-dATP that allows the affinity enrichment of dI-bearing DNA for sequencing. We have achieved efficient determination of the location of the modified nucleotide in dI-bearing plasmid DNA with the assistance of EndoV-dependent deamination repair. We have also successfully applied this approach to locate the dI modification sites in the mitochondrial DNA of human cells. Our method should be generally applicable for genome-wide sequencing analysis of dI modifications in living organisms.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Purpose: Tumor comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) may detect potential germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) alterations as secondary findings. We analyzed the frequency of potentially germline variants and large rearrangements (LRs) in the RATIONAL study, an Italian multicenter, observational clinical trial that collects next-generation sequencing-based tumor profiling data, and evaluated how these findings were managed by the enrolling centers.
Patients And Methods: Patients prospectively enrolled in the pathway-B of the RATIONAL study and undergoing CGP with the FoundationOne CDx assays were included in the analysis.

To explore strategies for further reducing aeration energy consumption in the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) process, an SND reactor was constructed to treat low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio domestic wastewater under ultra-low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions (DO < 0.05 mg·L⁻). The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and C/N ratio on nitrogen removal performance were systematically evaluated, and batch experiments were conducted to determine nitrification and denitrification rates.

Human parainfluenza virus 2 (HPIV-2) and human parainfluenza virus 4 (HPIV-4) are significant but underappreciated respiratory pathogens, particularly among high-risk populations including children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we sequenced 101 HPIV-2 and HPIV-4 genomes from respiratory samples collected in western Washington State and performed comprehensive evolutionary analyses using both new and publicly available sequences. Phylogenetic and phylodynamic analyses revealed that both HPIV-2 and HPIV-4 evolve at significantly faster rates compared to mumps virus, a reference human orthorubulavirus.
