Understanding chromatin organization requires integrating measurements of genome connectivity and physical structure. It is well established that cohesin is essential for TAD and loop connectivity features in Hi-C, but the corresponding change in physical structure has not been studied using electron microscopy. Pairing chromatin scanning transmission electron tomography with multiomic analysis and single-molecule localization microscopy, we study the role of cohesin in regulating the conformationally defined chromatin nanoscopic packing domains.

An unprecedented global outbreak caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency of international concern on July 23, 2022. Therapeutics and vaccines for MPXV are not widely available, necessitating further studies, particularly in drug repurposing area. To this end, the standardization of in vitro infection systems is essential.

Article Synopsis
  • Genome scans allow researchers to examine genetic variations linked to specific traits, but correlating individual genes with larger functional groups can be challenging.
  • This study focused on around 600,000 SNPs from European seabass populations to identify 96 candidate genes, highlighting the importance of epigenetic influences and connections to domestication-related traits.
  • The research found interactions among candidate genes, particularly in pathways related to "chromatin organization," indicating a significant role for epigenetic mechanisms in the domestication process of European seabass.

Dissecting the genetic basis of seed traits in wheat is impeded by limited genetic polymorphisms and significant variations caused by environmental conditions and seed position in a spikelet. Seed performance is largely determined by endosperm development controlled by spatiotemporal variation in gene activities, which is greatly affected by chromatin status. Here, we map genome-wide dynamic distributions of H3K27me3, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac modifications and profile gene transcription across wheat endosperm development.

Lens epithelium-derived growth factor p75 (LEDGF/p75), member of the hepatoma-derived growth-factor-related protein (HRP) family, is a transcriptional co-activator and involved in several pathologies including HIV infection and malignancies such as MLL-rearranged leukemia. LEDGF/p75 acts by tethering proteins to the chromatin through its integrase binding domain. This chromatin interaction occurs between the PWWP domain of LEDGF/p75 and nucleosomes carrying a di- or trimethylation mark on histone H3 Lys36 (H3K36me2/3).
