Currently available commercial vaccines are ineffective against new ARV variants and ARV outbreaks are increasing worldwide, requiring whole genome sequencing (WGS) to characterize strains that evade vaccines. This study compares the effectiveness of long-read and short-read sequencing technologies for obtaining ARV complete genomes.

The custom reference genomes were in turn constructed with the publicly available ARV genomic segments that shared the highest sequence similarity with the contigs from short-read <i>de novo</i> assemblies.

Among all cancer types, cancers with relatively low five-year survival rates and high incidence rates were pancreatic (10%), esophageal (20%), liver (20%), lung (21%), and brain (27%) cancers. This study integrated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles and comorbidity patterns to identify the common biomarkers with multi-functional analytics across the aforementioned five cancer types. In addition, gene ontology was used to categorize the biomarkers into several functional groups and establish the relationships between gene functions and cancers. ALX3, HOXD8, IRX1, HOXA9, HRH1, PTPRN2, TRIM58, and NPTX2 were identified as important methylation biomarkers for the five cancers characterized by low five-year survival rates. To extend the applicability of these biomarkers, their annotated genetic functions were explored through GO and KEGG pathway analyses. The combination of ALX3, NPTX2, and TRIM58 was selected from distinct functional groups.
