Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used method to map the position of DNA-binding proteins such as histones and transcription factors (TFs) upon their interaction with particular regions of the genome. To examine the genomic distribution of a TF in specific cell types in response to a change in nitrogen concentration, we developed a micro-ChIP (μChIP) protocol that requires only ~5000 Arabidopsis cells transiently expressing the Arabidopsis TF Basic Leucine Zipper 1 (bZIP1) fused to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) domain that mediates nuclear import in the presence of dexamethasone. The DNA fragments obtained from the immunoprecipitation of bZIP1-DNA complexes were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq), which helped uncover genome-wide associations between a bZIP1 and its targets in plant cells upon fluctuations in nitrogen availability.

Genome-wide association study of anterior uveitis.
Br J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Medical Research Center, Oulu University Hospital; Research Unit of Clinical Medicine, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland.
Background/aims: The purpose of this study is to define genetic factors associated with anterior uveitis through genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Methods: In this GWAS meta-analysis, we combined data from the FinnGen, Estonian Biobank and UK Biobank with a total of 12 205 anterior uveitis cases and 917 145 controls. We performed a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to investigate associations across phenotypes and traits.

Introduction: Lonicera caerulea L. (blue honeysuckle) is a noteworthy fleshy-fruited tree and a prominent medicinal plant, which possesses notable characteristics such as exceptional resilience to winter conditions and early maturation, and the richest source of functional anthocyanins, particularly cyanidin-3-glucoside. The molecular mechanisms responsible for its freezing tolerance and anthocyanin biosynthesis remain largely unknown.

Background: Previous studies report that Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) may be associated with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM); However, the causal relationship remains to be elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the causal relationship between HT and NICM through Mendelian randomization (MR) and explore the potential mediating role of inflammatory cytokines within this association.
Methods: The bidirectional two-sample MR, multivariable MR and mediation MR analyses were conducted based on genome-wide association study summary datasets, and MR results were further supported by multiple sensitivity analysis methods.

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene family comprises some of the most critical transporter proteins in plants, playing vital roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and adapting to environmental changes. While ABC transporters have been extensively characterized in various plant species, their profile in C. mollissima remains less understood.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests a complex interplay between psychiatric disorders and metabolic dysregulations. However, most research has been limited to specific disorder pairs, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of the broader psycho-metabolic nexus.
Methods: This study leveraged large-scale cohort data and genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, covering 8 common psychiatric disorders and 43 metabolic traits.
