Existing methods for clustering spatial transcriptomics data have primarily focused on data transformation techniques to represent the data suitably for subsequent clustering analysis, often using an existing clustering algorithm. These methods have limitations in handling complex data characteristics with varying densities, sizes, and shapes (in the transformed space on which clustering is performed), and they have high computational complexity, resulting in unsatisfactory clustering outcomes and slow execution time even with GPUs. Rather than focusing on data transformation techniques, we propose a new clustering algorithm called kernel-bounded clustering (KBC). It has two unique features: (1) It is the first clustering algorithm that employs a distributional kernel to recruit members of a cluster, enabling clusters of varying densities, sizes, and shapes to be discovered, and (2) it is a linear-time clustering algorithm that significantly enhances the speed of clustering analysis, enabling researchers to effectively handle large-scale spatial transcriptomics data sets. We show that (1) KBC works well with a simple data transformation technique called the Weisfeiler–Lehman scheme, and (2) a combination of KBC and the Weisfeiler–Lehman scheme produces good clustering outcomes, and it is faster and easier-to-use than many methods that employ existing clustering algorithms and data transformation techniques.","PeriodicalId":12678,"journal":{"name":"Genome research","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143192103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite decades of endeavors, reverse engineering of GRNs from gene expression profiling data remains a profound challenge, particularly when it comes to reconstructing cell-specific GRNs that are tailored to precise cellular and genetic contexts. Here, we propose a discrete diffusion generation model, called DigNet, capable of generating corresponding GRNs from high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. DigNet embeds the network generation process into a multistep recovery procedure with Markov properties. Each intermediate step has a specific model to recover a portion of the gene regulatory architectures. It thus can ensure compatibility between global network structures and regulatory modules through the unique multistep diffusion procedure. Furthermore, through iMetacell integration and non-Euclidean discrete space modeling, DigNet is robust to the presence of noise in scRNA-seq data and the sparsity of GRNs. Benchmark evaluation results against more than a dozen state-of-the-art network inference methods demonstrate that DigNet achieves superior performance across various single-cell GRN reconstruction experiments. Furthermore, DigNet provides unique insights into the immune response in breast cancer, derived from differential gene regulation identified in T cells. As an open-source software, DigNet offers a powerful and effective tool for generating cell-specific GRNs from scRNA-seq data.</p>","PeriodicalId":12678,"journal":{"name":"Genome research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142853942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some key areas where additional diagnostic yields may be realized include: (1) detection and resolution of structural variants (SVs); (2) detection and characterization of tandem repeat expansions; (3) coverage of regions of high sequence similarity; (4) variant phasing; (5) the use of de novo genome assemblies for reference-based or graph genome variant detection; and (6) epigenetic and transcriptomic evaluations. Examples from over 50 studies support that the main areas of added diagnostic yield currently lie in SV detection and characterization, repeat expansion assessment, and phasing (with or without DNA methylation information). Several emerging studies applying LRS in cohorts of undiagnosed RDs also demonstrate that LRS can boost diagnostic yields following negative standard-of-care clinical testing and provide an added yield of 7%–17% following negative short-read genome sequencing. With this evidence of improved diagnostic yield, we discuss the incorporation of LRS into the diagnostic care pathway for undiagnosed RDs, including current challenges and considerations, with the ultimate goal of ending the diagnostic odyssey for countless individuals with RDs.","PeriodicalId":12678,"journal":{"name":"Genome research","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, <em>k</em>-mer-based techniques have become popular to overcome some of these challenges. They are based on the simple process of dividing the analyzed sequences (e.g., raw reads or genomes) into a set of subsequences of length <em>k</em>, called <em>k</em>-mers, and then analyzing the frequency or sequences of those <em>k</em>-mers. Analyses based on <em>k</em>-mers allow for a rapid and intuitive assessment of complex sequencing data sets.

However, commercial methods for molecular barcoding of multiple DRS samples are lacking, and community-driven efforts, such as DeePlexiCon, are not compatible with newer RNA chemistry flowcells and the latest-generation GPU cards. To overcome these limitations, we introduce SeqTagger, a rapid and robust method that can demultiplex direct RNA sequencing datasets with 99% precision and 95% recall. We demonstrate the applicability of SeqTagger in both RNA002/R9.4 and RNA004/RNA chemistries and show its robust performance both for long and short RNA libraries, including custom libraries that do not contain standard poly(A) tails, such as Nano-tRNAseq libraries. Finally, we demonstrate that increasing the multiplexing up to 96 barcodes yields highly accurate demultiplexing models. SeqTagger can be executed in a standalone manner or through the MasterOfPores NextFlow workflow. The availability of an efficient and simple multiplexing strategy improves the cost-effectiveness of this technology and facilitates the analysis of low-input biological samples.","PeriodicalId":12678,"journal":{"name":"Genome research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143056331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, biological mechanisms that lead to inter-individual differences in cfDNA concentrations remain unexplored. The concentration of plasma cfDNA is governed by an interplay between its release and clearance. We hypothesized that cfDNA clearance by nucleases might be one mechanism that contributes toward inter-individual variations in cfDNA concentrations. We performed fragmentomic analysis of the plasma cfDNA from 862 healthy individuals, with a cfDNA concentration range of 1.61-41.01 ng/mL. We observed an increase in large DNA fragments (231-600 bp), a decreased frequencies of shorter DNA fragments (20-160 bp), and an increased frequency of G-end motifs with increasing cfDNA concentrations. End motif deconvolution analysis revealed a decreased contribution of DNASE1L3 and DFFB in subjects with higher cfDNA concentration. The five subjects with the highest plasma DNA concentration (top 0.58%) had aberrantly decreased levels of DNASE1L3 protein in plasma. The cfDNA concentration could be inferred from the fragmentomic profile through machine learning and was well correlated to the measured cfDNA concentration. Such an approach could infer the fractional DNA concentration from particular tissue types, such as the fetal and tumor fraction. This work shows that individuals with different cfDNA concentrations are associated with characteristic fragmentomic patterns of the cfDNA pool and that nuclease-mediated clearance of DNA is a key parameter that affects cfDNA concentration.

This map delineates the regulatory dynamics of predominant cell populations at multiple stages of regeneration. We observe a marked increase in the accessibility of chromatin regions associated with regenerative and developmental processes at 1 dpa, followed by a gradual closure across major cell types at later stages. This pattern is distinct from that of transcriptomic dynamics, which is characterized by several waves of gene upregulation and downregulation.

However, it remains unclear how spatial proximity of double-strand breaks (DSBs) affects the formation of SVs. To investigate if spatial proximity between two DSBs affects DNA repair, we used data from 3C experiments (Hi-C, ChIA-PET, and ChIP-seq) to identify highly interacting loci on six different chromosomes. The target regions correlate with the borders of mega-base sized Topologically Associated Domains (TADs), and we used CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease and pairs of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) against these targets to generate DSBs in both K562 cells and H9 human embryonic stem cells (hESC). Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) was used to quantify the resulting recombination events, and high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the chimeric junctions created between the two DSBs. We observe a significantly higher formation frequency of deletions and inversions with DSBs in proximity as compared to deletions and inversions with DSBs not in proximity in K562 cells. Additionally, our results suggest that DSB proximity may affect the ligation of chimeric deletion junctions. Taken together, spatial proximity between DSBs is a significant predictor of large-scale deletion and inversion frequency induced by CRISPR-Cas9 in K562 cells. This finding has implications for understanding SVs in the human genome and for the future application of CRISPR-Cas9 in gene editing and the modelling of rare SVs.","PeriodicalId":12678,"journal":{"name":"Genome research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142974716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
