Entropy sorting of single-cell RNA sequencing data reveals the inner cell mass in the human pre-implantation embryo

Arthur Radley et al.

Summary: A mathematical framework called entropy sorting (ES) is introduced to address the challenge of discerning meaningful cellular heterogeneity from noise in single-cell gene expression analysis. ES quantifies observed correlations between features to distinguish genes indicative of cell identity in an unsupervised manner, without the need for user-defined significance thresholds.

Mosaic cis-regulatory evolution drives transcriptional partitioning of HERVH endogenous retrovirus in the human embryo

Thomas A. Carter et al.

Summary: The study identified the HERVH family's expression in pluripotent stem cells, with the youngest subfamily LTR7up playing a key role in this transcription. It revealed the relationship between LTR7 sequence evolution, transcription factor binding sites, and promoter activity.

The essential but enigmatic regulatory role of HERVH in pluripotency

Corinne E. Sexton et al.

Summary: HERVH is highly expressed in stem cells and plays a crucial role in pluripotency, but there is no definitive model for its function, with hypotheses including acting as enhancers or lncRNAs. Recent studies suggest HERVH may function as markers for topologically lncRNAs. However, limitations exist in understanding its regulatory role, such as the lack of evidence for target genes associated with pluripotency.

Taming transposable elements in vertebrates: from epigenetic silencing to domestication

Miguel Vasconcelos Almeida et al.

Summary: This article reviews how animals control TE mobility and expression, and presents known examples of TE domestication. It suggests that the next research frontier is to understand the determinants and dynamics of TE domestication and explore the application of new technologies in this area.

Inherent mosaicism and extensive mutation of human placentas

Tim H. H. Coorens et al.

Summary: Placentas can exhibit chromosomal abnormalities different from the fetus, possibly due to genetic segregation. Research shows that placental cells display genetic isolation and extensive mutagenesis, suggesting that mosaicism is a typical feature of placental development.

Integrated pseudotime analysis of human pre-implantation embryo single-cell transcriptomes reveals the dynamics of lineage specification

Dimitri Meistermann et al.

Summary: By analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data and time-lapse imaging, we investigated the transcriptomic changes during early human embryo development. Our study identified divergence in trophectoderm/inner cell mass transcriptomes between the B2 to B3 blastocyst stages and highlighted potential cell fate markers.

Cleavage-embryo genes and transposable elements are regulated by histone variant H2A.X

Kai-yi Sun et al.

Summary: This study found that the deletion of H2A.X in mESCs led to significant upregulation of ZGA genes and misregulated TEs. ChIP-seq analysis indicated a direct association of H2A.X at the Dux locus for silencing the Dux gene in mESCs. Therefore, it is proposed that H2A.X plays an important role in regulating ZGA genes and TEs to establish totipotency.
