Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Cost-efficient long-read trio-barcoded adaptive sequencing improves rare disease diagnosis

Nature Communications
Rare diseases often remain unsolved because causal genetic changes can be complex and thus missed by standard sequencing or difficult to prioritize. Long-read sequencing can reveal structural variants, repeat expansions, DNA methylation and inherited ...

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 ...

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis in a murine model of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background HPS-1 is a genetic type of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) with highly penetrant pulmonary fibrosis (HPSPF), a restrictive lung disease that is similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

The Other Human Genome [PDF]

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 2001
In the past 13 years, a new chapter of human genetics, "mitochondrial genetics", has opened up and is becoming increasingly important in differential diagnosis. Although the clinical manifestations of disorders related to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are extremely variable, recent advances in genetic testing aid in the identification of patients.

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 ...

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.

Screening of the SHOX/PAR1 region using MLPA and miRNA expression profiling in a group of Egyptian children with non-syndromic short stature

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2020
Background Short stature is defined as a body height below the third percentile, based on chronological age, or 2 standard deviations (SD) below the national height standard. The prevalence of short stature is around 2% of children worldwide.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...
