Gene regulation and large-scale chromatin organization in the nucleus

Chromosome Research : an International Journal on the Molecular, Supramolecular and Evolutionary Aspects of Chromosome Biology
Niall Dillon

Abstract

Regulation of gene expression involves a number of different levels of organization in the cell nucleus. The main agents of transcriptional control are the cis-acting sequences in the immediate vicinity of a gene, which combine to form the functional unit or domain. Contacts between these sequences through the formation of chromatin loops forms the most basic level of organization. The activity of functional domains is also influenced by higher order chromatin structures that impede or permit access of factors to the genes. Epigenetic modifications can maintain and propagate these active or repressive chromatin structures across large genomic regions or even entire chromosomes. There is also evidence that transcription is organized into structures called 'factories' and that this can lead to inter-chromosomal contacts between genes that have the potential to influence their regulation.

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.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
