Article Abstract
We have analyzed the organization of the chicken alpha-globin gene domain using DNA miniarrays and have found two novel chromatin loop attachment regions. We have found a 40-kb loop domain that includes all the alpha-globin genes in cells of erythroid origin. One of the domain borders colocalizes almost exactly with a strong MAR element and with a block of enhancer-blocking elements found earlier at the upstream end of the alpha-globin gene domain. The domain structure was found to be different in a lymphoid cell line DT40. We propose to use the technique of DNA arrays to map the nuclear matrix attachment sites that define the borders of chromosome loop domains. The technique of DNA arrays permits a large number of DNA sequences to be immobilized on a glass or nylon matrix. This may prove useful for mapping chromatin loop positions within the human genome by using a pool of chromatin loop attachment regions as a probe in a hybridization with a DNA chip containing a specific DNA region.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of third-generation sequencing (TGS) and a thalassemia (Thal) gene diagnostic kit in identifying Thal gene mutations.
Methods: Blood samples (n = 119) with positive hematology screening results were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods and TGS on the PacBio-Sequel-II-platform, respectively.
Results: Out of the 119 cases, 106 cases showed fully consistent results between the two methods, with TGS identified HBA1/2 and HBB gene mutations in 82 individuals.

Reactivating the embryonic ζ-globin gene represents a potential therapeutic approach to ameliorate the severe clinical phenotype of α-thalassemia and sickle cell disease. The transcription factor MYB has been extensively proven to be a master regulator of the γ-globin gene, but its role in the regulation of ζ-globin remains incompletely understood. Here, we report a mechanistic study on the derepression of ζ-globin both and .
