Purpose: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a common primary hepatic tumors with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of ICC. Recently, the advance of high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology help us look insight into the three-dimensional (3D) genome structure variation during tumorigenesis.

Single-cell high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology enables capturing chromosomal spatial structure information at the cellular level. However, to effectively investigate changes in chromosomal structure across different cell types, there is a requisite for methods that can identify cell types utilizing single-cell Hi-C data. Current frameworks for cell type prediction based on single-cell Hi-C data are limited, often struggling with features interpretability and biological significance, and lacking convincing and robust classification performance validation.

A multi-omics study in a human cell line with mutations in three subunits of ORC, reveals that the subunits bind to DNA independent of each other rather than as part of a common six-subunit ORC. While DNA-bound ORC2 was seen to compact chromatin and attract repressive histone marks, the activation of chromatin and protection from repressive marks was seen at a large number of sites.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV) set-point viral load is a strong predictor of disease progression and transmission risk. A recent genome-wide association study in individuals of African ancestries identified a region on chromosome 1 significantly associated with decreased HIV set-point viral load. Knockout of the closest gene, CHD1L, enhanced HIV replication in vitro in myeloid cells.

Transcription elongation, especially RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pause-release, is less studied than transcription initiation in regulating gene expression during meiosis. It is also unclear how transcription elongation interplays with transcription initiation. Here, we show that depletion of NKAPL, a testis-specific protein distantly related to RNA splicing factors, causes male infertility in mice by blocking the meiotic exit and downregulating haploid genes.
