Abstract

Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder linked to partial deletion of integral numbers of a 3.3 kb polymorphic repeat, D4Z4, within the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. Although the relationship between deletions of D4Z4 and FSHD is well established, how this triggers the disease remains unclear. We have mapped the DNA loop domain containing the D4Z4 repeat cluster in human primary myoblasts and in murine-human hybrids. A nuclear matrix attachment site was found located in the vicinity of the repeat. Prominent in normal human myoblasts and nonmuscular human cells, this site is much weaker in muscle cells derived from FSHD patients, suggesting that the D4Z4 repeat array and upstream genes reside in two loops in nonmuscular cells and normal human myoblasts but in only one loop in FSHD myoblasts. We propose a model whereby the nuclear scaffold/matrix attached region regulates chromatin accessibility and expression of genes implicated in the genesis of FSHD.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
