Article Abstract
Repetitive sequences play an indispensable role in gene expression, transcriptional regulation, and chromosome arrangements through trans and cis regulation. In this review, focusing on recent advances, we summarize the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of repetitive sequences in embryonic stem cells. We aim to bridge the knowledge gap by discussing DNA damage repair pathway choices on repetitive sequences and summarizing the significance of chromatin organization on repetitive sequences in response to DNA damage. By consolidating these insights, we underscore the critical relationship between the stability of repetitive sequences and early embryonic development, seeking to provide a deeper understanding of repetitive sequence stability and setting the stage for further research and potential therapeutic strategies in developmental biology and regenerative medicine.

The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in , facilitated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs), complicates infection treatment. While pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) deployment has reduced disease burden, non-vaccine serotypes (NVTs) have increased and now cause invasive disease.

The genomes of 43 distinct lactococcal strains were reconstructed by a combination of long- and short-read sequencing, resolving the plasmid complement and methylome of these strains. The genomes comprised 43 chromosomes of approximately 2.5 Mb each and 269 plasmids ranging from 2 to 211 kb (at an average occurrence of 6 per strain).

Tandem repetition is one of the major processes underlying genome evolution and phenotypic diversification. While newly formed tandem repeats are often easy to identify, it is more challenging to detect repeat copies as they diverge over evolutionary timescales. Existing programs for finding tandem repeats return markedly different results, and it is unclear which predictions are more correct and how much room remains for improvement.

In standard short-read whole-exome sequencing (WES), capture probes are typically designed to target the protein-coding regions (CDS), and regions outside the exons-except for adjacent intronic sequences-are rarely sequenced. Although the majority of known pathogenic variants reside within the CDS as nonsynonymous variants, some disease-causing variants are located in regions that are difficult to detect by WES alone, such as deep intronic variants and structural variants, often requiring whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for detection. Moreover, WES has limitations in reliably identifying pathogenic variants within mitochondrial DNA or repetitive regions.

infections represent a significant public health concern. Despite their clinical relevance, the genetic determinants underlying bacterial fitness and virulence remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we systematically identified genes involved in host adaptation by generating a transposon mutant library and integrating a infection model with transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) technology.
