Transcriptomic responses of sponge holobionts to in situ, seasonal anoxia and hypoxia by Strehlow, Brian W., Schuster, Astrid, Francis, Warren R., Eckford-Soper, Lisa, Kraft, Beate, McAllen, Rob, Nielsen, Ronni, Mandrup, Susanne, Canfield, Donald E.

“…However, ATP synthesis genes were significantly upregulated under hypoxia when compared to normoxia, and genes for DNA replication were downregulated. Mitochondrial gene expression was effectively unchanged under both hypoxia and anoxia. …”

Single-cell profiling reveals a reduced epithelial defense system, decreased immune responses and the immune regulatory roles of different fibroblast subpopulations in chronic atro... by Lin Lin, Tingxuan Huang, Lizhi Li, Yang Lin, Feng Chen, Ziyi Zheng, Jie Zhou, Yizhe Wang, Weihao You, Yujie Duan, Yawen An, Shiwei He, Weimin Ye

“…The mucous neck cells in CAG lesions showed upregulation of genes related to cell cycle transition, which may lead to aberrant DNA replication. Additionally, cells with the T exhaustion phenotype infiltrated under CAG condition. …”

RECQL4 affects MHC class II‐mediated signalling and favours an immune‐evasive signature that limits response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with malignant melan... by Sara Egea‐Rodriguez, Renáta Váraljai, Thierry M. Nordmann, Restuan Lubis, Manuel Philip, Florian Rambow, Alexander Roesch, Michael Flaig, Susanne Horn, Raphael Stoll, Fang Zhao, Annette Paschen, Bert Klebl, Ian D. Hickson, Dirk Schadendorf, Matthias Mann, Iris Helfrich

“…RECQL4, a RecQ‐like helicase, plays a central role in DNA replication and repair as part of the DNA damage response, a pathway implicated in enhancing efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies. …”

From DNA to sustainability: the genomics approach in livestock production by Juan Carlos Gutiérrez-Añez

“…Thus, indirectly, genetic improvement programs based on the measurement of the characters of interest, selection, and control of reproduction to multiply the selected-desired character have as their principle the intervention and control of the DNA replicated in the next generations. On the other hand, genomic sequencing is the technology that has advanced the fastest in the last decade. …”
