X Inactivation and Escape: Epigenetic and Structural Features

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
X inactivation represents a complex multi-layer epigenetic mechanism that profoundly modifies chromatin composition and structure of one X chromosome in females.

Deciphering the molecular mechanism of the cancer formation by chromosome structural dynamics.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2021
Cancer reflects the dysregulation of the underlying gene network, which is strongly related to the 3D genome organization. Numerous efforts have been spent on experimental characterizations of the structural alterations in cancer genomes.

High-resolution 3D models of Caulobacter crescentus chromosome reveal genome structural variability and organization [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2018
High-resolution three-dimensional models of Caulobacter crescentus nucleoid structures were generated via a multi-scale modeling protocol. Models were built as a plectonemically supercoiled circular DNA and by incorporating chromosome conformation capture based data to generate an ensemble of base pair resolution models consistent with the experimental

A graph neural network-based interpretable framework reveals a novel DNA fragility–associated chromatin structural unit

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2023
Background DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most deleterious DNA lesions, and they can cause cancer if improperly repaired. Recent chromosome conformation capture techniques, such as Hi-C, have enabled the identification of relationships ...

Chromosome Centromeres: Structural and Analytical Investigations with High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy in Combination with Focused Ion Beam Milling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Whole mount mitotic metaphase chromosomes of different plants and animals were investigated with high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to study the ultrastructural organization of centromeres, including metacentric ...

A dynamic meiotic SUN belt includes the zygotene-stage telomere bouquet and is disrupted in chromosome segregation mutants of maize (Zea mays L.).

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The nuclear envelope (NE) plays an essential role in meiotic telomere behavior and links the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm during homologous chromosome pairing and recombination in many eukaryotic species.

A maximum-entropy model to predict 3D structural ensembles of chromatins from pairwise distances: Applications to Interphase Chromosomes and Structural Variants

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
ABSTRACT The principles that govern the organization of genomes, which are needed for a deeper understanding of how chromosomes are packaged and function in eukaryotic cells, could be deciphered if the three dimensional (3D) structures are known. Recently, single-cell imaging experiments have determined the 3D coordinates of a number of

Modelling chromosome-wide target search

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
The most common gene regulation mechanism is when a transcription factor (TF) protein binds to a regulatory sequence to increase or decrease RNA transcription. However, TFs face two main challenges when searching for these sequences. First, the sequences
