Article Abstract
Summary: With the continued deluge of results from genome-wide association and functional genomic studies, it has become increasingly imperative to quickly combine and visualize different layers of genetic and genomic data within a given locus to facilitate exploratory and integrative data analyses. While several tools have been developed to visualize locus-level genetic results, the limited speed, scalability and flexibility of current approaches remain a significant bottleneck. Here, we present a Julia package for high-performance genetics and genomics-related data visualization that enables fast, simultaneous plotting of hundreds of association results along with multiple relevant genomic annotations. Leveraging the powerful plotting and layout utilities from Makie.jl facilitates the customization and extensibility of every component of a plot, enabling generation of publication-ready figures.
Availability And Implementation: The GeneticsMakie.jl package is open source and distributed under the MIT license via GitHub (https://github.com/mmkim1210/GeneticsMakie.jl). The GitHub repository contains installation instructions as well as examples and documentation for built-in functions.
Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Background: There is a higher prevalence of heart rate corrected QT (QTc) prolongation in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. QT interval genome-wide association studies have identified candidate genes for cardiac energy metabolism, and experimental studies suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids have direct effects on ion channel function. Despite this, there has been limited study of metabolite concentration relationships with QT intervals.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is revolutionizing the study of complex biological systems. However, most sequencing studies overlook the contribution of transposable element (TE) expression to the transcriptome. The quantification of locus-specific TE expression in scRNA-seq experiments is challenging due to their repetitive sequence content and poorly characterized annotations.

Despite significant advances, current single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies often struggle with accurately detecting non-coding transcripts, achieving full-length RNA coverage, and/or resolving transcript-level complexity. Many are also difficult to implement or inaccessible without specialized liquid handlers, further limiting their utility. We present Single-cell TOtal RNA-seq Miniaturized (STORM-seq), a random-hexamer primed, ribo-reduced single-cell total RNA sequencing (sc-total-RNA-seq) protocol using standard laboratory equipment.

Transposable elements (TEs) have been hypothesized to play a pivotal role in driving diversification by facilitating the emergence of novel phenotypes and the accumulation of divergence between species. Hybridization and adaptation to novel niches have been proposed to destabilize mechanisms constraining TE proliferation, potentially inducing a 'TE burst' that promotes TE accumulation on the genome. The rapid speciation and ecological diversification characteristic of adaptive radiations offer a unique opportunity to examine the link between TE accumulation and speciation, diversification, hybridization and adaptation.

Regulating gene expression involves significant changes in the chromatin environment at the locus level, especially at regulatory sequences. However, their modulation following pharmacological treatments or pathological conditions remain mostly undetermined. Here, we report versatile locus-specific proteomics tools to address this knowledge gap, which combine the targeting ability of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and the protein-labeling capability of the highly reactive biotin ligases TurboID (in CasTurbo) and UltraID (in CasUltra).
