Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Targeted Chromosome Conformation Capture (HiCap)

open access: yesMethods in Molecular Biology, 2022
Targeted chromosome conformation capture (HiCap) is an experimental method for detecting spatial interactions of genomic features such as promoters and/or enhancers. The protocol first describes the design of sequence capture probes. After that, it provides details on the chromosome conformation capture adapted for next-generation sequencing (Hi-C ...

The statistical-mechanics of chromosome conformation capture [PDF]

open access: yesNucleus, 2013
Since Jacob and Monod's characterization of the role of DNA elements in gene control, it has been recognized that the linear organization of genome structure is important for the regulation of gene transcription and hence the manifestation of phenotypes.

Quantitative Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C-qPCR)

Methods in Molecular Biology, 2022
Many population-based methods investigating chromatin dynamics and organization in eukaryotes are based on the chromosome conformation capture (3C) method. Here, we provide an updated version of the quantitative 3C (3C-qPCR) protocol for improved and simplified quantitative analyses of intra-chromosomal contacts.

Chromosome Conformation Capture

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONChromosome conformation capture (3C) is a technique used to detect the spatial organization of chromosomal DNA in fixed cells. DNA sequences in spatial proximity in the nucleus or engaged in physical interactions (such as those between genes and regulatory elements) can be assessed quantitatively to provide a measure that potentially ...

Capturing Chromosome Conformation

Science, 2002
We describe an approach to detect the frequency of interaction between any two genomic loci. Generation of a matrix of interaction frequencies between sites on the same or different chromosomes reveals their relative spatial disposition and provides information about the physical properties of the chromatin fiber.

Chromosome Conformation Capture for Large Genomes

2022
The gigantic 32Gb Axolotl genome inspires fascinating questions such as: how such a big genome is organized and packed in nuclei and how regulation of gene transcription can happen over such large genomic distances. Currently, there are many technical challenges when we investigate chromatin architecture in axolotl.
