Chromosome-level genome assembly of goose provides insight into the adaptation and growth of local goose breeds

Qiqi Zhao, Zhenping Lin, Junpeng Chen, Zi Xie, Jun Wang, Keyu Feng, Wencheng Lin, Hongxin Li, Zezhong Hu, Weiguo Chen, Feng Chen, Muhammad Junaid, Huanmin Zhang, Qingmei Xie, Xinheng Zhang

Summary: We report a chromosome-level assembly of the Lion-head goose genome, which had a total genome size of 1.19 Gb and identified 21,208 protein-coding genes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that geese and ducks diverged approximately 28.42 million years ago, and geese have undergone massive gene family expansion and contraction. A genome-wide association study identified genetic markers associated with body weight in different goose breeds.

A near-complete assembly of asparagus bean provides insights into anthocyanin accumulation in pods

Yi Yang, Zhikun Wu, Zengxiang Wu, Tinyao Li, Zhuo Shen, Xuan Zhou, Xinyi Wu, Guojing Li, Yan Zhang

Summary: In this study, an improved reference genome sequence of an elite asparagus bean variety was achieved through the integration of nanopore ultra-long reads, PacBio high-fidelity reads, and Hi-C technology. The improved assembly demonstrated significant enhancements, including a higher N50 length, a high anchor ratio, and the presence of only one gap. The utilization of the reference genome allowed for the identification of a gene involved in color determination, which has important implications for understanding the breeding process.

Dodecaploid Xenopus longipes provides insight into the emergence of size scaling relationships during development

Kelly E. Miller, Clotilde Cadart, Rebecca Heald

Summary: Genome size and cell size in frogs are strongly correlated, and this correlation affects developmental rate. However, it is unclear how the relationship between cell size and ploidy is established during embryonic development. By studying different polyploid frogs, researchers discovered that cell size is primarily determined by egg size, while nuclear size is correlated with genome size. At the subcellular level, nuclear size is more strongly correlated with genome size, while mitotic spindle size scales with cell size. These findings demonstrate the relationship between cell size and ploidy in frogs and reveal different size scaling mechanisms during embryogenesis, suggesting that Xenopus development is consistent across a wide range of genome and egg sizes.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the Muscovy duck provides insight into fatty liver susceptibility

Ming-Min Xu, Li-Hong Gu, Wan-Yue Lv, Sheng-Chang Duan, Lian-Wei Li, Yuan Du, Li-Zhi Lu, Tao Zeng, Zhuo-Cheng Hou, Zhanshan Sam Ma, Wei Chen, Adeniyi C. Adeola, Jian-Lin Han, Tie-Shan Xu, Yang Dong, Ya-Ping Zhang, Min-Sheng Peng

Summary: This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Muscovy duck and uncovers the potential mechanisms underlying its susceptibility to fatty liver disease. The Muscovy duck exhibits weak lipid catabolism capabilities, mainly attributed to fatty acid beta-oxidation and lipolysis. The accelerated evolution of conserved noncoding elements down-regulates the expression of genes involved in hepatic lipid catabolism, contributing to fatty liver formation.

Summary: This study identified a novel germline stop-loss mutation in the X-linked gene SEPT6, leading to reduced SEPT6 staining in bone marrow granulocyte precursors and megakaryocytes in the patient. CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in experiments showed the critical role of SEPT6 in chromosomal segregation in myeloid progenitors. The in silico analysis predicted that the mutated protein hinders SEPT6 coiled-coil dimerization, affecting filament formation.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of a de novo transposon insertion in the SRCAP gene, which causes neurodevelopmental disorders in a 28-year-old female. The insertion is a full-length antisense-oriented SVA insertion and originates from an intron of a highly expressed long non-coding RNA in testis. The insertion results in significant depletion of SRCAP expression and exon skipping.

Parents fostered resilience by adopting a positive mindset and becoming A-T experts to advocate for their children and support other parents. The findings highlight the importance of providers addressing parental mental well-being and involving them as respected members of the care team in pediatric rare disease appointments.

Chatila, David A. Williams, Lucinda Williams, Myriam Armont, Leah Cheng

Summary: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a disease that develops in some pediatric patients following acute infection with SARS-CoV-2 through unknown mechanisms. Tregs in MIS-C are destabilized through a Notch1-dependent mechanism. Genetic analysis revealed enrichment of rare deleterious variants affecting inflammation and autoimmunity pathways in MIS-C patients, including dominant-negative mutations in the Notch1 regulators NUMB and NUMBL leading to Notch1 upregulation. Notch1 signaling in Tregs induces CD22, disrupting their stability in an mTORC1-dependent manner and promoting systemic inflammation. These findings highlight the Notch1/CD22 signaling axis as a crucial factor in Treg dysfunction in MIS-C and suggest distinct immune checkpoints controlled by individual Treg Notch receptors that influence the inflammatory outcome in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
