For steady transgenic expression, lentiviral vector-mediated gene delivery is a commonly used technique. One question that needs to be explored how external vectors and overexpressed genes perturb cellular homeostasis, potentially altering transcriptional networks. In this study, two Human Embryonic Kidney 293T (HEK293T)-derived cell lines were established via transduction, one overexpressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) the other co-overexpressing GFP ADORA3 following puromycin selection ensure stable genomic integration. Genes with differentially transcript utilization (gDTUs) expressed (DEGs) across identified after short-read long-read RNA-seq. Only 31 discovered have changed in expression when was expressed, although hundreds of showed variations use. contrast, even co-overexpression alters more than 1000 genes, there are still less gDTUs. Moreover, DEGs linked overexpression play major role RNA splicing, whereas gDTUs highly number malignancies molecular mechanisms underlie them. analysis data from derived HEK293T, our findings provide important insights into changes alternative splicing.

Abstract Background Acidobacteriota are abundant in soil, peatlands and sediments, but there so far only a few studies on those freshwater environments. Genome streamlined bacteria have reduced genomes as an evolutionary process to adapt oligotrophic environments such oceans lakes. UBA12189, genus under the family Holophagaceae, is uncultivated lineage with ultra-small genome size found aquatic So far, no detailed genomic analyses were done this lineage. Here, we analyzed 66 MAGs of UBA12189 (metagenome assembled genomes; including 2 complete genomes) from lakes rivers Europe, North America Asia, which first reported. Results extremely small sizes (< 1.4Mbp), low GC content highly diverse pangenome. In lakes, bacterial surface waters (epilimnion) down 300 meters depth (hypolimnion). appears be free-living CARD-FISH analysis, concrete evidence host association.

ABSTRACT Background Short-read RNA sequencing (RNAseq) has widely been used to sequence from a wide range of different tissues, developmental stages and species. However, the technology is limited by inherent biases its inability capture full-length transcripts. Long-read RNAseq overcomes these issues providing reads that can span multiple exons, resolve complex repetitive regions capability cover entire Unfortunately, this still prone higher error rates. Noncoding transcripts are highly specific cell types tissues remain underrepresented in current reference annotations. This problem exacerbated dismissal sequenced align genomic do not contain annotated transcripts, resulting approximately half expressed being overlooked transcriptional studies. Results We have developed pipeline, named HyDRA ( Hy brid d e novo R NA ssembly), which combines precision short with structural resolution long reads, enhancing accuracy reliability custom transcriptome assemblies. Deep, short- long-read data derived ovarian fallopian tube samples were develop, validate assess efficacy HyDRA. identified more than 50,000 high-confidence noncoding RNAs, most previously detected using traditional methods. Conclusions HyDRA’s assembly performed 40% better similar obtained top-ranked stand-alone de short-read-only tool over 30% one best-in-class multistep approach. Although rapidly advancing, vast availability short-read will ensure hybrid approaches like implemented continue be relevant, allowing discovery within tissues. As practice performing assemblies becomes commonplace, advance annotation coding expand our knowledge genome.
