Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique has been widely used to detect and localize specific DNA and RNA sequences in interphase nuclei and chromosomes in animals and plants. Here, we present a protocol for localization of genomic loci in nuclei of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This protocol includes several advances and adaptations to A. thaliana, including preparation of nuclei and chromosomes without the use of liquid nitrogen, and an in situ hybridization procedure that preserves chromatin structure without the use of paraformaldehyde and formamide. Simultaneous denaturation of the BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) probe and nuclei followed by annealing at high temperature allows hybridization in less than an hour. These hybridization conditions also provide high signal to noise ratio by a small number of washes. Thus, this simplified in situ hybridization procedure is completed in one working day.

The high mortality rate from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is due primarily to challenges in early diagnosis and the development of drug resistance in advanced stages. Many first-line chemotherapeutic drugs induce ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death dependent on ferrous iron-mediated oxidative stress, suggesting that drug resistance and ensuing tumor progression may in part stem from reduced ferroptosis. Since circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to influence tumor development, we examined whether specific circRNAs may regulate drug-induced ferroptosis in HCC.

Background: A number of genetic aberrations are associated with the BCL6-correpresor gene (BCOR), including internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and gene fusions (BCOR::CCNB3 and BCOR::MAML3), as well as YWHAE::NUTM2, which are found in clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), sarcoma with BCOR genetic alterations, primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy, and high-grade neuroepithelial tumors in children. Detecting these gene aberrations is crucial for tumor diagnosis. ITDs can be identified by Sanger sequencing or agarose gel electrophoresis.

Transcription factors play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression during maize kernel development. The maize endosperm is a large storage organ, accounting for nearly 90% of the dry weight of mature kernel, and is also the main place for starch storage. In this study, we identify an endosperm-specific EREB gene, ZmEREB167, which encodes a nucleus-localized EREB protein.
