摘要

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) derived from chromosomal Ty retrotransposons in yeast can be generated in multiple ways. Ty eccDNA can arise from the circularization of extrachromosomal linear DNA during the transpositional life cycle of retrotransposons, or from circularization of genomic Ty DNA. Circularization may happen through nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) of long terminal repeats (LTRs) flanking Ty elements, by Ty autointegration, or by LTR-LTR recombination. By performing an in-depth investigation of sequence reads stemming from Ty eccDNAs obtained from populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c, we find that eccDNAs predominantly correspond to full-length Ty1 elements. Analyses of sequence junctions reveal no signs of NHEJ or autointegration events. We detect recombination junctions that are consistent with yeast Ty eccDNAs being generated through recombination events within the genome. This opens the possibility that retrotransposable elements could move around in the genome without an RNA intermediate directly through DNA circularization.

Genome Size Doubling Arises From the Differential Repetitive DNA Dynamics in the Genus Heloniopsis (Melanthiaceae)

Jaume Pellicer, Pol Fernandez, Michael F. Fay, Ester Michalkova, Ilia J. Leitch

Summary: Plant genomes exhibit high diversity in size and repetitive DNA composition. The study on two closely related species of Heloniopsis analyzed the evolution of repetitive DNA, identifying main repeat families responsible for significant differences in genome sizes and revealing correlations between repeat evolution patterns and genome size. Evolutionary changes in repetitive DNA composition and genome size suggest that distinct repeat lineages have contributed to differences in genome size between these species.

Genome-wide variation in DNA methylation linked to developmental stage and chromosomal suppression of recombination in white-throated sparrows

Dan Sun, Thomas S. Layman, Hyeonsoo Jeong, Paramita Chatterjee, Kathleen Grogan, Jennifer R. Merritt, Donna L. Maney, Soojin V. Yi

Summary: Research has shown significant differences in DNA methylation between different developmental stages in wild white-throated sparrows, with differential methylation primarily involving genes related to development and cell differentiation. Differential methylation between plumage morphs is concentrated in the nonrecombining chromosome pair. Additionally, methylation reprogramming on the nonrecombining chromosome is associated with gene expression divergence.

Functional characterization of enhancer activity during a long terminal repeat's evolution

Alan Y. Du, Xiaoyu Zhuo, Vasavi Sundaram, Nicholas O. Jensen, Hemangi G. Chaudhari, Nancy L. Saccone, Barak A. Cohen, Ting Wang

Summary: Transposable elements (TEs) containing transcription factor binding sites have potential regulatory activity. Our study systematically tested the regulatory activity of the human LTR18A subfamily and identified AP-1 and CEBP motifs as drivers of enhancer activity. Through evolutionary analysis, we found that LTR18A elements have lost regulatory activity over time through sequence changes, with mutations in the AP-1 and CEBP motifs having the largest effects. We also discovered that these motifs are more conserved than expected. Our findings provide insights into the origin, evolution, and utilization of TE-derived regulatory elements.

Short Interrupted Repeat Cassette (SIRC)-Novel Type of Repetitive DNA Element Found in Arabidopsis thaliana

Igor V. V. Gorbenko, Ivan S. S. Petrushin, Andrey B. B. Shcherban, Yuriy L. L. Orlov, Yuri M. M. Konstantinov

Summary: SIRC is a novel DNA element found in the A. thaliana nuclear genome, consisting of short direct repeats interrupted by diverse DNA sequences. SIRC sites are enriched with histone modifications associated with constitutive heterochromatin and mobile genetic elements. DNA-binding proteins associated with SIRC are mainly involved in histone modifications for transcription repression. Some SIRC elements overlap highly inducible protein-coding genes, indicating a potential regulatory role.

Genetic Redundancy in Rye Shows in a Variety of Ways

Alexander V. Vershinin, Evgeny A. Elisafenko, Elena V. Evtushenko

Summary: Fifty years ago, Susumu Ohno proposed the C-value paradox, which states that there is no correlation between genome size and organism complexity, and emphasized on genome redundancy. The concept of junk DNA, referring to DNA that does not have a positive effect on organism fitness, remains controversial. Rye is used as a subject to test the validity and scientific significance of this concept. The review analyzes the structural organization of rye chromosomes and discusses the molecular mechanisms and DNA sequences involved in genome size increase during evolution.

LINE-1 repression in Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer through viral-host genome interaction

Mengyu Zhang, Weikang Sun, Xiaoxin You, Dongge Xu, Lingling Wang, Jingping Yang, Erguang Li, Susu He

Summary: This study analyzed publicly available datasets and found that EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) has a repression of L1 transcription compared with EBV-negative gastric cancer (EBVnGC). Retrotransposition-associated young and full-length L1s (FL-L1s) were found to be the most repressed L1s in EBVaGC. Increased deposition of H3K9me3 on FL-L1s was observed, potentially attributed to increased TASOR expression and the interaction between viral DNA and the TASOR enhancer. This study uncovers a regulation mechanism of L1 expression by chromatin topology remodeling associated with viral-host genome interaction in EBVaGC.

First discovered, long out of sight, finally visible: ribosomal DNA

Ashley N. Hall, Elizabeth Morton, Christine Queitsch

Summary: With the advancement of long-read sequencing, previously unresolvable genomic elements such as ribosomal DNA (rDNA) are being revisited. The variability in rDNA, including locus structure, copy number, and sequence variation, poses interesting questions about rDNA biology. Recent advances in long-read sequencing technology make it possible to incorporate the full rDNA sequence into reference genomes, allowing for a better understanding of rDNA biology within the context of cell physiology and whole-organism phenotypes.

Summary: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) have been discovered in the human genome, termed hCRISPRs, which are expressed as small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) and can distinguish normal from malignant tissues. These findings suggest the potential use of hCRISPRs as diagnostic biomarkers for cancer and the development of point-of-care tests based on their differential expression.

Domestication Shapes Recombination Patterns in Tomato

Roven Rommel Fuentes, Dick de Ridder, Aalt D. J. van Dijk, Sander A. Peters

Summary: The study reveals that the recombination landscape is overall conserved between domesticated and wild tomato populations, with local changes in effective recombination rate in specific genomic regions. Dynamics of recombination hotspots resulting from domestication are also studied, showing that loss of such hotspots is associated with selective sweeps, particularly in the pericentromeric heterochromatin. This study detected footprints of genetic changes and structural variants, including transposable elements, linked with hotspot divergence during domestication, causing fine-scale alterations to recombination patterns and resulting in linkage drag.

Thomas P. Gilbert, Shyam Gopalakrishnan

Summary: The extant genetic diversity of Canis lupus can be grouped into three distinct clades: Eurasian wolves, American wolves, and domestic dogs. Genetic studies suggest that these groups trace their origins back to a wolf population that expanded during the last glacial maximum and replaced local wolf populations. Ancient genomes from Siberia provide evidence of at least one extinct wolf lineage. Previous studies on Pleistocene Siberian canids have shown two morphological groups, but it is unknown if this classification represents distinct genetic groups. Resequencing of genomes from four Pleistocene canids in Northeast Siberia shows they are genetically more similar to Eurasian wolves, branching off the lineage that gave rise to present-day wolves and dogs. The two previously described morphological groups could represent independent lineages similarly related to present-day wolves and dogs.

A unifying model for extrachromosomal circular DNA load in eukaryotic cells

Gerard Arrey, Samuel T. Keating, Birgitte Regenberg

Summary: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) with exons and whole genes is a common feature in eukaryotic cells. Researchers have found that eccDNA can provide selective advantages and disadvantages, and it has the ability to quickly change copy number and incorporate secondary mutations into chromosomes. A proposed 5-factor model emphasizes the formation, replication, segregation, selection, and elimination of eccDNA, providing a framework for further research on its biology and factors that affect eccDNA load in eukaryotic cells.

Summary: This article analyzes ancient wolf genomes and finds that wolf populations were highly connected in the late Pleistocene, suggesting a complex history of wolf domestication. Dogs are overall more closely related to ancient wolves from eastern Eurasia, but dogs in the Near East and Africa derive up to half of their ancestry from a distinct population related to modern southwest Eurasian wolves.

Enriching captivity conditions with natural elements does not prevent the loss of wild-like gut microbiota but shapes its compositional variation in two small mammals

Adam Koziol, Inaki Odriozola, Lasse Nyholm, Aoife Leonard, Carlos San Jose, Joana Pauperio, Clara Ferreira, Anders J. Hansen, Ostaizka Aizpurua, M. Thomas P. Gilbert, Antton Alberdi

Summary: This study examined the changes in gut microbiota of two wild-caught small mammals when they are brought into captivity. The results showed that both species experienced a decrease in microbial diversity during captivity, regardless of the housing treatments. While the community composition changed in a similar magnitude for both species, the temporal development of the gut microbiome differed under different treatments, particularly in C. russula. These findings suggest that specific housing conditions can significantly affect the drift of microbial communities under captivity.
