    Structural variation in 1,019 diverse humans based on long-read sequencing

    Samples and DNA extraction

    We initially selected 1,064 samples from the 1kGP collection, sourcing genomic DNA from Coriell and discarding low-quality DNA. The study complied with all relevant regulations for work with human participants. DNA was…

    The histone H3 lysine 36 demethylase KDM2A/FBXL11 controls Polycomb-mediated gene repression and germ cell development in male mice

    Spermatogenesis is defective in Kdm2a-deficient mice

    We sought to study the role of the H3K36me1/2 demethylase KDM2A7 in adult mammal biology. To this end, we targeted the Kdm2a locus in C57BL/6 J ESCs with a vector containing an IRES-β-geo…

  • ILF3 promotes colorectal cancer cell resistance to ferroptosis by enhancing cysteine uptake and GSH synthesis via stabilizing SLC3A2 mRNA

    ILF3 promotes colorectal cancer cell resistance to ferroptosis by enhancing cysteine uptake and GSH synthesis via stabilizing SLC3A2 mRNA

    ILF3 is decreased in RSL3-mediated ferroptosis

    To identify key RBPs involved in ferroptosis regulation in CRC, we constructed a ferroptosis cell model in SW620 cells by treating them with RSL3. Ferroptosis was confirmed by assessing Glutathione…
