The results of quantitative PCR (qPCR) presented in the paper clearly demonstrate that the sixteen-fold genome reduction inCyclops kolensisduring chromatin diminution (from 15.3 pg to 0.98 pg) results in a dramatic decrease in ribosomal RNA gene copy numbers in the genome of a somatic cell line by more than two orders of magnitude. The results presented allow for the consideration of the chromatin diminution as a mechanism of rDNA copy number regulation.

Odontoblast differentiation depends on the orderly recruitment of transcriptional factors (TFs) in the transcriptional regulatory network. The depletion of crucial TFs disturbs dynamic alteration of the chromatin landscape and gene expression profile, leading to developmental defects. Our previous studies have revealed that the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) TF family is crucial in odontoblastic differentiation, but the function of bZIP TF family member XBP1 is still unknown.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart disease where the left ventricle is reduced in size. A forward genetic screen in mice identified SIN3A associated protein 130 kDa (), part of the chromatin modifying SIN3A/HDAC complex, as a gene contributing to the etiology of HLHS. Here, we report the role of zebrafish genes in heart development.

High-order chromatin organization plays an important role in biological processes and disease development. Previous studies revealed a widespread occurrence of guanine quadruplex (G4) structures in the human genome, with enrichment in gene regulatory regions, especially in promoters. However, it remains unclear whether G4 structures contribute to RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-mediated long-range DNA interactions and transcription activity.
