Article Abstract
The dawn of cost-effective genome assembly is enabling deep comparative genomics to address fundamental evolutionary questions by comparing the genomes of multiple species. However, comparative genomics analyses frequently deploy multiple, often purpose-built frameworks, limiting their transferability and replicability. Here, we present compare_genomes, a transferable and extensible comparative genomics workflow package we developed that streamlines the identification of orthologous families within and across eukaryotic genomes and tests for the presence of several mechanisms of evolution (gene family expansion or contraction and substitution rates within protein-coding sequences). The workflow is available for Linux, written as a Nextflow workflow that calls established genomics and phylogenetics tools to streamline the analysis and visualization of eukaryotic genome divergence. This workflow is freely available at https://github.com/jeffersonfparil/compare_genomes, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3). © 2023 The Authors.

Purpose: Advancements in sequencing technologies have significantly improved clinical genetic testing, yet the diagnostic yield remains around 30-40%. Emerging technologies are now being deployed to address the remaining diagnostic gap.
Methods: We tested whether short-read genome sequencing could increase the diagnostic yield in individuals enrolled into the UCI-GREGoR research study, who had suspected Mendelian conditions and prior inconclusive testing.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is a dysregulated immune response to bloodstream infection causing serious disease and death. Our review seeks to integrate the knowledge gained from studies of multiple molecular methods- such as genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and the gut microbiome- in the setting of neonatal sepsis that may improve the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the disease. Sepsis claims over 200,000 lives annually worldwide and remains a top 10 cause of infant mortality in the US.

Isatin (1-indole-2,3-dione) is a privileged nitrogen-containing heterocyclic framework that has received considerable attention in anticancer drug discovery owing to its general biological behavior and structural diversity. This review focuses on isatin-heterocyclic hybrids as a valuable model in the development of new anti-cancer drugs that may reduce side effects and help overcome drug resistance, discussing their synthetic approaches and mechanism of action as apoptosis induction through kinase inhibition. With various chemical modifications, isatin had an excellent ability to build powerful isatin hybrids and conjugates targeting multiple oncogenic pathways.

The genus is a heterogenous group of commensal and pathogenic bacteria. Members of this genus are classified into two major groups, the pyogenic group and the viridans group streptococci (VGS). VGS are frequently found as normal members of the human microbiome and are regarded as commensals.

Herein we present the rapid development of LH168, a potent and highly selective chemical probe for WDR5, streamlined by utilizing a DEL-ML (DNA encoded library-machine learning) hit as the chemical starting point. LH168 was comprehensively characterized in bioassays and demonstrated potent target engagement at the WIN-site pocket of WDR5, with an EC of approximately 10 nM, a long residence time, and exceptional proteome-wide selectivity for WDR5. In addition, we present the X-ray co-crystal structure and provide insights into the structure-activity relationships (SAR).
