Affordable GRO-seq for Bread Wheat Nascent RNA
2026-08-25
Chen et al. present a cost-efficient Global Run-On sequencing protocol for profiling nascent transcription in allohexaploid bread wheat. Its central innovation is rRNA depletion after nuclear RNA isolation and before nascent-RNA immunoprecipitation, which increased the proportion of valid sequencing data by 20-fold and enabled enhancer RNA analysis in a complex plant genome.

Lactylated NSUN2 Drives PDAC Perineural Invasion
2026-08-22
This 2026 Theranostics study identifies NSUN2 K692 lactylation as a metabolic mechanism linking lactate accumulation to RNA m5C-dependent stabilization of CDCP1 and STC1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Its combination of patient cohorts, neural invasion models, CRISPR mutants, RNA-binding analyses, and genetically engineered mice provides a mechanistic framework for understanding and potentially restraining perineural invasion.

Light, Brassinolide, and Arabidopsis Root Growth
2026-08-19
Peng and Zhai show that light and brassinosteroids regulate Arabidopsis seedling root elongation through largely separable effects, challenging the assumption that light-dependent root growth is simply mediated by endogenous brassinosteroid status. Their genotype-by-environment and pharmacological design also reveals that brassinazole responses are strongly context dependent and may include toxicity unrelated to brassinosteroid depletion.
