Article Abstract

DNA replication timing (RT) is the cell-type-specific order by which different genomic regions are replicated during the S phase. Here, we present a biotinylation-based version of Repli-seq (BioRepli-seq) to determine genome-wide RT through next-generation sequencing. We detail steps for nucleotide analog pulse labeling, DNA content-based cell sorting, click chemistry-based biotinylation, DNA fragmentation, and on-bead sequencing library generation. This technique can be applied to any proliferating cell type to study RT and is compatible with automatization. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gökbuget et al..

Increasing evidence indicates that the loss of soil microbial α-diversity triggered by environmental stress negatively impacts microbial functions; however, the effects of microbial α-diversity on community functions under environmental stress are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the changes in bacterial and fungal α- diversity along gradients of five natural stressors (temperature, precipitation, plant diversity, soil organic C and pH) across 45 grasslands in China and evaluated their connection with microbial functional traits. By quantifying the five environmental stresses into an integrated stress index, we found that the bacterial and fungal α-diversity declined under high environmental stress across three soil layers (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm and 40-60 cm).

The bacterial DNA damage (SOS) response promotes DNA repair, DNA damage tolerance, and survival in the setting of genotoxic stress, including stress induced by antibiotics. In , translesion DNA synthesis can be fulfilled by Y-family DNA polymerases, including DNA polymerase IV (DinB). DinB features a more open active site and lacks proofreading ability, promoting error-prone replication.

An increasing number of epigenome-wide association studies report tobacco smoking-associated DNA methylation levels. However, comprehensive replication studies remain scarce, particularly in placenta, despite their crucial interest in such a large-scale context. Using DNA methylation data from the EPIC array of 341 new placentas (85 smokers, 219 non-smokers, and 37 former smokers) from the EDEN cohort, we used a candidate approach to replicate maternal smoking-associated CpGs and regions previously identified using the 450K array, and an exploratory approach to discover new associations within EPIC-specific CpGs.

The flexibility of the spatio-temporal genome replication program during development and disease highlights the regulatory role of plastic epigenetic mechanisms over genetic determinants. Histone post-translational modifications are broadly implicated in replication timing control, yet the specific mechanisms through which individual histone marks influence replication dynamics, particularly in heterochromatin, remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that H3K36me3 dynamically enriches at pericentromeric heterochromatin, composed of major satellite DNA repeats, prior to replication during mid S phase in mouse embryonic stem cells.
