Article Abstract
Generating maximally-fit biological sequences has the potential to transform CRISPR guide RNA design as it has other areas of biomedicine. Here, we introduce model-directed exploration algorithms (MEAs) for designing maximally-fit, artificial CRISPR-Cas13a guides-with multiple mismatches to any natural sequence-that are tailored for desired properties around nucleic acid diagnostics. We find that MEA-designed guides offer more sensitive detection of diverse pathogens and discrimination of pathogen variants compared to guides derived directly from natural sequences, and illuminate interpretable design principles that broaden Cas13a targeting.

Distinct evolutionary trajectories of subgenomic centromeres in polyploid wheat.

Background: Centromeres are crucial for precise chromosome segregation and maintaining genome stability during cell division. However, their evolutionary dynamics, particularly in polyploid organisms with complex genomic architectures, remain largely enigmatic. Allopolyploid wheat, with its well-defined hierarchical ploidy series and recent polyploidization history, serves as an excellent model to explore centromere evolution.

Potato bolters are caused by excision of a transposon from the StCDF1.3 allele, resulting in a somatic mutant with late maturity. Somatic mutations during vegetative propagation can lead to novel genotypes, known as sports.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer (BC), accounting for nearly 40% of BC-related deaths. Emerging evidence suggests that the breast tissue microbiome harbors distinct microbial communities; however, the microbiome specific to TNBC remains largely unexplored. This study presents the first comprehensive meta-analysis of the TNBC tissue microbiome, consolidating 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from 200 BC samples across four independent cohorts.

The maternal microbiome during pregnancy and the peripartum period plays a critical role in maternal health outcomes and establishing the neonatal gut microbiome, with long-term implications for offspring health. However, a healthy microbiome during these key periods has not been definitively characterized. This longitudinal study examines maternal and neonatal microbiomes using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing in a Japanese cohort throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC). Our study focuses on the regulatory effect of circular RNAs on metabolism of TC, aiming to provide new insights into the mechanisms of progression and a potential therapeutic target for TC. In this study, we identified high expression levels of circPSD3 in TC tissues through RNA sequencing.
