Objective: To explore the value of multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) in combination with whole chromosome painting (WCP) in the detection of complex chromosomal aberrations (CCAs) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Methods: M-FISH was used in seven MDS patients with R-banding CCAs to refine the complex chromosomal rearrangements, and to identify cryptic translocations and characterization of marker chromosomes. Dual-color WCP procedures were further performed in 7 cases to confirm some rearrangements detected by M-FISH.
Results: M-FISH confirmed all results of R-banding. The composition and origin of 6 kinds of marker chromosomes, 9 kinds of chromosomes with additional material undetermined and 5 kinds of derivative chromosomes undefined by conventional cytogenetics (CC) were defined after M-FISH analysis; four kinds of cryptic translocations overlooked by CC were found on derivative chromosomes and previously normal appearing chromosomes. In addition, M-FISH revealed some nonrandom aberrations: aberrations involving chromosome 17 and -5/5q- were the two most frequent aberrations. Some misclassified and missed chromosomal aberrations by M-FISH were corrected by WCP.
Conclusion: M-FISH is a powerful molecular cytogenetic tool in clarification of CCAs. Complementary WCP helps us to identify misclassified and missed chromosomal aberrations by M-FISH. CC in combination with molecular cytogenetic techniques, such as M-FISH and WCP, can unravel complex chromosomal aberrations more precisely.

Triploids are widely used to rapidly achieve genetic improvements of organisms due to their fast growth and enhanced environmental adaptability. Artificially induced triploids are generally considered to be infertile owing to the obvious inhibition of gonadal development. Recently, some fertile individuals with reduced advantages have been found in triploid bivalves, which is a notable deviation from the original intention of artificially inducing triploids.

Chromatin remodeling plays a pivotal role in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we elucidated the critical function of staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain-containing 1 (SND1) in modulating chromatin dynamics, thereby driving ESCC progression in both in vitro and in vivo models. Our data revealed that SND1 was markedly overexpressed in ESCC cell lines.

GBS read coverage analysis identified a Robertsonian chromosome from two Thinopyrum subgenomes in wheat, conferring leaf and stripe rust resistance, drought tolerance, and maintaining yield stability. Agropyron glael (GLAEL), a Thinopyrum intermedium × Th. ponticum hybrid, serves as a valuable genetic resource for wheat improvement.

Aim: This study investigates the impact of sub-toxic cisplatin levels on nuclear and nucleolar abnormalities and chromosome instability in HeLa cells since our current knowledge of cisplatin effects on these parameters is based on studies with high concentrations of cisplatin.
Materials And Methods: HeLa cells were exposed to gradually increasing sub-toxic doses of cisplatin (0.01 to 0.
