Transcription-induced active forces suppress chromatin motion [PDF]
The organization of interphase chromosomes in a number of species is starting to emerge thanks to advances in a variety of experimental techniques. However, much less is known about the dynamics, especially in the functional states of chromatin. Some experiments have shown that the motility of individual loci in human interphase chromosome decreases ...

Discovering disease genes on the X chromosome can be particularly challenging. Here, the authors use features of known disease genes and machine learning to predict genes that remain to be associated with disorders on this chromosome.

iPSC reprogramming-mediated aneuploidy correction in autosomal trisomy syndromes
Trisomy 21, 18, and 13 are the major autosomal aneuploidy disorders in humans. They are mostly derived from chromosome non-disjunction in maternal meiosis, and the extra trisomic chromosome can cause several congenital malformations. Various genes on the

XYY syndrome: a 13-year-old boy with tall stature [PDF]
When evaluating the underlying causes of tall stature, it is important to differentiate pathologic tall stature from familial tall stature. Various pathologic conditions leading to adult tall stature include excess growth hormone secretion, Marfan ...

Imprinting disorders are congenital diseases caused by dysregulation of genomic imprinting, affecting growth, neurocognitive development, metabolism and cancer predisposition. Overlapping clinical features are often observed among this group of diseases.

On the mechanisms of the occurrence of autism spectrum disorders: a family case report
Currently, more than 1000 genes described in which mutations are observed in autism spectrum disorders. Neurobiological predictors have been found to presume these abnormalities in early postnatal ontogenesis.

Topological and non-topological mechanisms of loops formation in chromosomes: effects on the contact probability [PDF]
Chromosomes are crumpled polymer chains further folded into a sequence of stochastic loops via loop extrusion. While extrusion has been verified experimentally, the particular means by which the extruding complexes bind DNA polymer remains controversial. Here we analyze the behaviour of the contact probability function for a crumpled polymer with loops

A CASE OF DELETION OF CHROMOSOME 14q23.3 [PDF]
An interstitial deletion of the region q23.3 of chromosome 14 is described in a young male patient with epilepsy, mental retardation, behavioural disorders and severe impairments in social interaction and communication.

Chromosome Segmentation Analysis Using Image Processing Techniques and Autoencoders [PDF]
Chromosome analysis and identification from metaphase images is a critical part of cytogenetics based medical diagnosis. It is mainly used for identifying constitutional, prenatal and acquired abnormalities in the diagnosis of genetic diseases and disorders.

AutoKary2022: A Large-Scale Densely Annotated Dataset for Chromosome Instance Segmentation [PDF]
Automated chromosome instance segmentation from metaphase cell microscopic images is critical for the diagnosis of chromosomal disorders (i.e., karyotype analysis). However, it is still a challenging task due to lacking of densely annotated datasets and the complicated morphologies of chromosomes, e.g., dense distribution, arbitrary orientations, and ...
