Abstract

Soybean is a sulfur-loving oilseed crop, and continuous cropping can lead to soil sulfur deficiency, which can inhibit the growth and quality of soybean. This experiment used transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing techniques to analyse the changes in the expression of functional genes and related proteins in the root system of continuously cropped soybean and to reveal the molecular mechanism of F. mosseae inoculation on the soybean root system in response to sulfur nutrient supply at the molecular level. It was thus demonstrated that F. mosseae could enhance the uptake and transport of soil sulfur in continuously cropped soybean. This study, therefore, provides a theoretical basis for the application of F. mosseae as a biofertilizer in soybean production on sulfur-deficient soils. One-sentence summaryF. mosseae affects soybean genes and proteins at the transcriptome and proteome levels.

Genomic correlates of metastatic competence and progression in human melanoma

Genomic events and their timing that grant a primary tumour the competence to disseminate remain poorly defined. We performed sequencing of 247 stage I/II primary cutaneous melanomas (CMs) and 60 matched metastases without intervening therapy from a prospectively followed registry cohort with a median followup of 92 months, integrating copy-number, mutational, protein and spatial-transcriptomic analyses. Relapse was not distinguished by oncogenic point mutations, which were largely shared between primaries and metastases, but by somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) and global chromosomal instability. We defined OncoCycle, a six-gene copy-number signature (amplification of CDK4, MCL1 and CD276; biallelic loss of CDKN2A, CDKN2B and TP53BP1) that predicted relapse independently of established clinicopathological features in melanoma, and a pan-cancer analysis. In matched pairs, metastatic progression was driven by continued copy-number evolution and reduction in intra-tumoural heterogeneity, rather than by acquired point mutations, and OncoCycle alterations from primary tumours were preserved in metastasis seeding clones. Clonal reconstruction revealed both monoclonal and polyclonal metastasis seeding, and spatial transcriptomics resolved copy-number-defined metastatic subclones occupying and programming distinct immune and stromal niches. Thus, metastatic competence was primed early by focal SCNAs on a background of chromosomal instability, elaborated by continued copy-number evolution during dissemination and spatio-temporal interactions with the tumour-microenvironment.

PfPHAST: Plasmodium falciparum Public Health Amplicon Sequencing Tool, a Streamlined Panel for Malaria Genomic Surveillance

Genomic tools can support malaria control policy through surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum populations, tracking antimalarial drug resistance, pfhrp2/3 deletions that compromise rapid diagnostic tests, and selection at the circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) vaccine target, as well as through molecular correction of therapeutic efficacy studies (TES). Multiplex Amplicons for Drug, Diagnostic, Diversity, and Differentiation Haplotypes using Targeted Resequencing (MAD4HatTeR), a comprehensive amplicon sequencing panel covering up to 276 targets, supports these applications but is tailored to research rather than routine programmatic use. We developed P. falciparum Public Health Amplicon Sequencing Tool (PfPHAST), a 56-target derivative of MAD4HatTeR spanning drug resistance loci, pfhrp2/3 deletion, PfCSP genotyping, non-falciparum species identification, and 20 high-heterozygosity microhaplotype loci for TES classification. We compared PfPHAST and MAD4HatTeR using laboratory strain controls, including two-strain dilution series and a five-strain mixture, across parasite densities of 100 to 10,000 parasites/L. At matched per-target depth, PfPHAST achieved a higher quality-control pass rate than MAD4HatTeR (94.4% versus 90.0%) and distributed reads more evenly across targets. The panels showed comparable recall and precision for drug resistance codons and microhaplotypes, reaching near-complete recall above 40% within-sample allele frequency (WSAF) at all densities, with reduced sensitivity for minor alleles below 10% WSAF at low parasite density in both panels. Observed and expected WSAF correlated strongly for both panels, and both resolved a five-strain polyclonal mixture, including a 5% minor strain. By concentrating sequencing capacity on targets of greatest programmatic relevance, PfPHAST offers a scalable, lower-cost alternative to comprehensive research panels without sacrificing performance on shared targets, complementing MAD4HatTeR for routine molecular malaria surveillance.

Structural variation in repeat elements is widespread in normal human tissues and in tumorigenesis

Somatic mosaicism contributes to genomic variation, yet postzygotic structural variants remain under-characterized. We performed long- and short-read WGS from multiple individuals (n=47 normal tissues; n=168 samples) and identified mosaic structural variants in all individuals and germ layers, impacting a median 285.2 kb/genome. Nearly half of breakpoints were independently validated, with tissue distributions reflecting both early and late developmental origins. Most mosaic variants were repeat-mediated and 8.3% overlapped functional elements, an enrichment compared to germline variants. To extend these analyses in samples where long-read sequencing is infeasible, we measured repeat alterations from short-read sequencing, recapitulating mosaic tissue-specific differences. We characterized tumor- and tissue- specific variation in repeats across 15 cancer types and found tumor-related repeat variation to be similar in scale to that of normal mosaic variation. Tracking repeat changes in cell-free DNA provided a noninvasive approach for tumor monitoring. Our analyses revealed widespread repeat-driven structural variation in health and disease.
