@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialRead the latest in #G3journal, where Yong-Bi Fu uses the seed-based #RNASeq analysis for the first time to measure changes in total deleterious mutation burden of barley germplasm conserved under long-term cold storage over one regeneration cycle.
@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialA population genetics study in #G3journal derives several theoretical models to gain insights into deleterious transposon epigenetic effects, considering that spontaneous epialleles generated by transposons are detrimental to fitness.
@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialA comparative genomic analysis in #G3journal identifies the relationships between species traits, such as dominant reproductive mode, distribution size, and generation length, and the abundance and spatial distribution of transposable elements in lichenized fungi. 🍄
@genetics-gsa.bsky.social🪱 Using a CRISPR-based, cell-specific degradation approach, Amezquita et al. demonstrate that the Integrin-Talin axis functions cell-autonomously in #Celegans mechanosensory neurons to regulate presynaptic branch formation.

@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialNaumovozyma castellii is a telomerase-deficient #yeast strain that can bypass senescence by rapidly activating an alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanism.
New work in #G3journal shows that subtelomeric regions play a key role in the effective activation of ALT.
@genetics-gsa.bsky.social📢 🪱 Check out the high-coverage, telomere-to-telomere, updated reference genome for the C. briggsae AF16 reference strain with improved genomic resources to enable high-quality intra- and interspecies comparative studies.

@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialIn #G3journal, @michelle-c-ward.bsky.social & Co identify a chronic transcriptional response signature in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes treated with Doxorubicin—an effective anticancer drug—that can be used to design biomarkers or therapeutic targets for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
@genetics-gsa.bsky.social🪱 A new #Omics report in #G3journal identifies the complex interplay between the heat shock response and the unfolded protein response of the ER in #Celegans, emphasizing the existence of both compartment-specific and shared regulatory mechanisms.
@genetics-gsa.bsky.socialA library of #yeast strains captures a substantial fraction of genomic variation while also avoiding the confounding effects of population structure.
