Optical genome mapping for detection of chromosomal aberrations in prenatal diagnosis
Introduction Chromosomal aberrations are the most important etiological factors for birth defects. Optical genome mapping is a novel cytogenetic tool for detecting a broad range of chromosomal aberrations in a single assay, but relevant clinical ...

Determination of plasmid copy number in yeast transformants by means of agarose plugs [PDF]
The determination of plasmid copy number in Saccharomyces cerevisiaetransformants containing circular or linear plasmids is currently performed with total yeast DNA extracts obtained from cultures grown under selection.

Detection of chromosomal regions showing differential gene expression in human skeletal muscle and in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a relatively common tumour of the soft tissue, probably due to regulatory disruption of growth and differentiation of skeletal muscle stem cells.

Whole genome sequencing and microsatellite analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum E5 NF54 strain show that the var, rifin and stevor gene families follow Mendelian inheritance [PDF]
Background: Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a high degree of inter-isolate genetic diversity in its variant surface antigen (VSA) families: P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1, repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) and subtelomeric variable ...

Formation of Chromosomal Domains in Interphase by Loop Extrusion
Topologically Associating Domains (TADs) are fundamental structural and functional building blocks of human interphase chromosomes, yet mechanisms of TAD formation remain unknown. Here we propose that loop extrusion underlies TAD formation.

Multidirectional chromosome painting substantiates the occurrence of extensive genomic reshuffling within Accipitriformes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous cross-species painting studies with probes from chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosomes 1-10 and a paint pool of nineteen microchromosomes have revealed that the drastic karyotypic reorganization in Accipitridae is due to extensive ...

Cytogenetic findings in patients with intellectual disability and/or multiple congenital anomalies [PDF]
Introduction: Chromosomal abnormalities are a major etiology of intellectual disability (ID) and multiple congenital anomalies (MCAs). Screening for chromosomal aberrations by clinical diagnostic techniques has been primarily performed ...
