Here we construct graph-based pan-genomes for diploid (A2) and allotetraploid (AD1) cotton species, enabled by an assembly of 50 genomes of genetically diverse accessions. We delineate a mosaic genome map of tetraploid cultivars that illustrates genomic contributions from semi-wild forms into modern cultivars. Pan-genome comparisons identify syntenic and hyper-divergent regions of continued variation between diploid and tetraploid cottons, and suggest an ongoing process of sequence evolution potentially linked to the contrasting genome size change in two subgenomes. We highlight 43% of genetic regulatory relationships for gene expression in diploid encompassing sequence divergence after polyploidy, and specifically characterize six underexplored convergent genetic loci contributing to parallel selection of fiber quality. This study offers a framework for pan-genomic dissection of genetic regulatory components underlying parallel selection of desirable traits in organisms. High-quality assemblies of 15 diploid and 35 allotetraploid cotton accessions are analyzed in graph-based pan-genomes, providing insights into genome dynamics and regulatory control of fiber transcriptomes under varying ploidy and selection pressures.","PeriodicalId":18985,"journal":{"name":"Nature genetics","volume":"56 11","pages":"2562-2573"},"PeriodicalIF":31.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142536626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we describe gene burden association analyses, aggregating rare missense and loss of function variants, at 22 cancer sites, including 130,991 cancer cases and 733,486 controls from Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom. We identified four genes associated with increased cancer risk; the pro-apoptotic BIK for prostate cancer, the autophagy involved ATG12 for colorectal cancer, TG for thyroid cancer and CMTR2 for both lung cancer and cutaneous melanoma. Further, we found genes with rare variants that associate with decreased risk of cancer; AURKB for any cancer, irrespective of site, and PPP1R15A for breast cancer, suggesting that inhibition of PPP1R15A may be a preventive strategy for breast cancer. Our findings pinpoint several new cancer risk genes and emphasize autophagy, apoptosis and cell stress response as a focus point for developing new therapeutics.

Obesity is therefore a driver of etiological heterogeneity in some cancers.

During chronic inflammation, macrophages acquire sustained inflammatory ‘states’ that contribute to disease, but there is limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that drive their generation. Here we describe a systematic functional genomics approach that combines genome-wide phenotypic screening in primary murine macrophages with transcriptional and cytokine profiling of genetic perturbations in primary human macrophages to uncover regulatory circuits of inflammatory states. This process identifies regulators of five distinct states associated with key features of macrophage function. Among these regulators, loss of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) writer components abolishes m6A modification of TNF transcripts, thereby enhancing mRNA stability and TNF production associated with multiple inflammatory pathologies. Thus, phenotypic characterization of primary murine and human macrophages describes the regulatory circuits underlying distinct inflammatory states, revealing post-transcriptional control of TNF mRNA stability as an immunosuppressive mechanism in innate immunity. Functional screens using mouse and human primary macrophages identify regulators of distinct inflammatory states, including a role for m6A mRNA modification in TNF production.","PeriodicalId":18985,"journal":{"name":"Nature genetics","volume":"56 11","pages":"2493-2505"},"PeriodicalIF":31.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142487082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a 21.7-Gb chromosome-level haplotype-resolved assembly in Pinus densiflora. We found genome rearrangements involving translocations and inversions between chromosomes 1 and 3 of Pinus species and a proliferation of specific long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) in P. densiflora. Evolutionary analyses illustrated that tandem and LTR-RT-mediated duplications led to an increment of transcription factor (TF) genes in P. densiflora. The haplotype sequence comparison showed allelic imbalances, including presence–absence variations of genes (PAV genes) and their functional contributions to flowering and abiotic stress-related traits in P. densiflora. Allele-aware resequencing analysis revealed PAV gene diversity across P. densiflora accessions. Our study provides insights into key mechanisms underlying the evolution of genome structure, LTR-RTs and TFs within the Pinus lineage as well as allelic imbalances and diversity across P. densiflora. Chromosome-scale and haplotype-resolved assembly of Pinus densiflora sheds light on Pinus-specific genome enlargement.
