Evolutionary dynamics of predicted G-quadruplexes in human and other great apes by Saswat K. Mohanty, Francesca Chiaromonte, Kateryna D. Makova

“…Analyzing inter-species whole-genome alignments, we identify pG4s shared across apes (approximately one-third of all pG4s) and thousands of species-specific pG4s. pG4s accumulate and diverge at rates consistent with divergence times between species, following molecular clock. pG4s shared across apes are enriched and hypomethylated at regulatory regions—enhancers, promoters, UTRs, and origins of replication—suggesting their conserved formation and functions. Species-specific pG4s (constituting 11–27% of all pG4s) are located in regulatory regions, potentially contributing to adaptations, and in repeats, likely driving genome expansions. …”

Luminal Cerebrovascular Proteomics by Sophia Shi, Carolyn Bertozzi, Tony Wyss-Coray

“…These cells exhibit strong apicobasal polarity, with distinct luminal and abluminal membrane compositions that crucially mediate compartmentalized functions of the vasculature. Existing transcriptomic and proteomic profiling techniques often lack the spatial resolution to discriminate between these membrane compartments, limiting insights into their distinct molecular compositions and functions. …”
