Identification and characterization of the HERV-K (HML-8) group of human endogenous retroviruses in the genome

This study characterizes the HERV-K (HML-8) group in the human genome, identifying 40 proviruses and 5 solo LTR elements and determining their integration time and genomic distribution.

RB1 loss overrides PARP inhibitor sensitivity driven by RNASEH2B loss in prostate cancer

The paper shows that loss of RNASEH2B makes prostate cancer cells sensitive to PARP inhibitors, but co-deletion with RB1 reduces this sensitivity through BRCA2 upregulation, and ATR inhibition can restore sensitivity.
