Delineation of the Genetic Architecture and Clinical Polymorphism of 3q29 Duplication Syndrome: A Review of the Literature and a Report of Two Novel Patients With Single-Gene BDH1 Duplications.

Background: Chromosome 3q29 duplication syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder with a frequency of 1:5000 in patients with a neurodevelopmental phenotype. The syndrome is characterized by phenotypic polymorphism and reduced penetrance.

Methods: Patients were investigated by performing a cytogenetic analysis of GTG-banded metaphases, aCGH with the SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray 8×60K, qPCR, FISH, and WES.

A KSHV RNA-binding protein promotes FOS to inhibit nuclease AEN and transactivate RGS2 for AKT phosphorylation.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes an RNA-binding protein ORF57 in lytic infection. Using an optimized CLIP-seq in this report, we identified ORF57-bound transcripts from 544 host protein-coding genes. By comparing with the RNA-seq profiles from BCBL-1 cells with latent and lytic KSHV infection and from HEK293T cells with and without ORF57 expression, we identified FOS RNA as one of the major ORF57-specific RNA targets.

Electrospinning of Poly-3-Hydroxybutyrate Fibers Loaded with Chlorophyll for Antibacterial Purposes.

This work is devoted to the creation of biocompatible fibrous materials with a high antimicrobial effect based on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and chlorophyll (Chl). The data obtained show the possibility of obtaining fibrous materials from PHB and Chl by electrospinning methods. The obtained electrospun matrices were investigated by the SEM, DSC and FTIR methods.

Search for Soft Unclustered Energy Patterns in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV.

The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics.
