The genome-wide chromosome conformation capture method, Hi-C, has greatly advanced our understanding of genome organization. However, its quantitative properties, including sensitivity, bias, and linearity, remain challenging to assess. Measuring these properties is difficult due to the heterogenous and dynamic nature of chromosomal interactions.

Meiotic recombination through chromosomal crossing-over is a fundamental feature of sex and an important driver of genomic diversity. It ensures proper disjunction, allows increased selection responses, and prevents mutation accumulation; however, it is also mutagenic and can break up favorable haplotypes. This cost-benefit dynamic is likely to vary depending on mechanistic and evolutionary contexts, and indeed, recombination rates show huge variation in nature.

Polyploidy is a prominent driver of plant diversification, accompanied with dramatic chromosomal rearrangement and epigenetic changes that affect gene expression. How chromatin interactions within and between subgenomes adapt to ploidy transition remains poorly understood. We generate open chromatin interaction maps for natural hexaploid wheat (AABBDD), extracted tetraploid wheat (AABB), diploid wheat progenitor Aegilops tauschii (DD) and resynthesized hexaploid wheat (RHW, AABBDD).

The cytogenomics-based methodology of directional genomic hybridization (dGH) enables the detection and quantification of a more comprehensive spectrum of genomic structural variants than any other approach currently available, and importantly, does so on a single-cell basis. Thus, dGH is well-suited for testing and/or validating new advancements in CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing systems. In addition to aberrations detected by traditional cytogenetic approaches, the strand specificity of dGH facilitates detection of otherwise cryptic intra-chromosomal rearrangements, specifically small inversions.

Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome (ARS) type 1 is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by anterior chamber anomalies, umbilical defects, dental hypoplasia, and craniofacial anomalies, with Meckel's diverticulum in some individuals. Here, we describe a clinically ascertained female of childbearing age with ARS for whom clinical targeted sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis followed by clinical exome and genome sequencing resulted in no pathogenic variants or variants of unknown significance in PITX2 or FOXC1. Advanced bioinformatic analysis of the genome data identified a complex, balanced rearrangement disrupting PITX2.
