Accurate and Efficient Detection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Using Multi‐Dimensional Features of Plasma Cell‐Free DNA

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The incidence of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rising in recent years, especially in some non‐developed parts of the world. Hence, cost‐efficient means for sensitive detection of NPC are vital. Methods We recruited 646 participants, including healthy individuals, patients with benign nasopharyngeal diseases, and NPC patients for

Free energy profile for unwrapping outer superhelical turn of CENP-A nucleosome

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2019
Eukaryotic genome is packaged in a nucleus in the form of chromatin. The fundamental structural unit of the chromatin is the protein-DNA complex, nucleosome, where DNA of about 150 bp is wrapped around a histone core almost twice.

The Chromatin Organization of an Eukaryotic Genome : Sequence Specific+ Statistical=Combinatorial (Extended Abstract) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
Nucleosome organization in eukaryotic genomes has a deep impact on gene function. Although progress has been recently made in the identification of various concurring factors influencing nucleosome positioning, it is still unclear whether nucleosome positions are sequence dictated or determined by a random process.

A hitchhiker's guide to single‐cell epigenomics: Methods and applications for cancer research

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic mutations are well known to influence tumorigenesis, tumor progression, treatment response and relapse, but the role of epigenetic variation in cancer progression is still largely unexplored. The lack of epigenetic understanding in cancer evolution is in part due to the limited availability of methods to examine such a heterogeneous ...

Changes in nucleosome occupancy occur in a chromosome specific manner

open access: yesGenomics Data, 2014
In the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA is packaged into chromatin. The fundamental subunit of chromatin is the nucleosome, DNA is wrapped 1.6 times around a histone octamer core.

Epigenomics‐guided precision oncology: Chromatin variants in prostate tumor evolution

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that in 5%–30% leads to treatment‐resistant and highly aggressive disease. Metastasis‐potential and treatment‐resistance is thought to rely on increased plasticity of the cancer cells—a mechanism whereby cancer cells alter their identity to adapt to changing environments or therapeutic pressures to create

Genome-wide mapping and cryo-EM structural analyses of the overlapping tri-nucleosome composed of hexasome-hexasome-octasome moieties

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The nucleosome is a fundamental unit of chromatin in which about 150 base pairs of DNA are wrapped around a histone octamer. The overlapping di-nucleosome has been proposed as a product of chromatin remodeling around the transcription start site, and ...

RSC remodeling of oligo-nucleosomes: an atomic force microscopy study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
RSC is an essential chromatin remodeling factor that is required for the control of several processes including transcription, repair and replication. The ability of RSC to relocate centrally positioned mononucleosomes at the end of nucleosomal DNA is firmly established, but the data on RSC action on oligo-nucleosomal templates remains still scarce.
