Generation of Dual-Color FISH probes targeting 9p21, Xp21, and 17p13.1 loci as diagnostic markers for some genetic disorders and cancer in Egypt

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
Introduction: The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a very important technique, as it can diagnose many genetic disorders and cancers. Molecular cytogenetic analysis (FISH) can diagnose numerical chromosome aberrations, sex chromosomes ...

BoostMe accurately predicts DNA methylation values in whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of multiple human tissues

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Bisulfite sequencing is widely employed to study the role of DNA methylation in disease; however, the data suffer from biases due to coverage depth variability.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Pre-sequencing assessment of RNA-Seq library quality using real-time qPCR

BioTechniques
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is an essential assay for studying transcriptome profiling. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) comprises more than 80–90% of total cellular RNA; efficient removal is essential for accurately capturing transcriptomes, particularly to sequence ...

REAPR: a universal tool for genome assembly evaluation. [PDF]

, 2013
Methods to reliably assess the accuracy of genome sequence data are lacking. Currently completeness is only described qualitatively and mis-assemblies are overlooked.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Alzheimer's disease and HIV associated dementia related genes: I. location and function. [PDF]

, 2008
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has few clinical similarities to HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD). However, genes were identified related among these dementias.

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

The impact of rare and low-frequency genetic variants in common disease

Genome Biology, 2017
Despite thousands of genetic loci identified to date, a large proportion of genetic variation predisposing to complex disease and traits remains unaccounted for.
