We report the refined chromosomal localization of the putative tumor suppressor gene TP73 (alias p73) within the genomic region between the anonymous loci D1Z2 and D1S47. The region measures less than 6 Mb and covers a genetic distance of 16 cM. The present mapping considerably restricts the previous cytogenetic localization of TP73.

The clear molecular characterization of genetically modified (GM) plants and animals is a prerequisite for obtaining regulatory approval and safety certification for commercial cultivation. This characterization includes the identification of the transferred DNA (T-DNA) insertion site, its flanking sequences, the copy number of inserted genes, and the detection of any unintended genomic alterations accompanying the transformation process. In this study, we performed a comprehensive molecular characterization of the well-known GM soybean event FG72 using paired-end whole-genome sequencing (PE-WGS).

Background: Skeletal dysplasia (SD) represents a series of highly heterogeneous congenital genetic diseases affecting the human skeletal system. Refined genetic diagnosis is helpful for the accurate diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of SDs.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we recruited 26 cases of SD and analyzed them with a designed sequential genetic detection.

The diversity in dermal pigmentation and plumage color among domestic chickens is striking, with Black Bone Chickens (BBC) particularly notable for their intense melanin hyperpigmentation. This unique trait is driven by a complex chromosomal rearrangement on chromosome 20 at the Fm locus, resulting in the overexpression of the EDN3 (a gene central to melanocyte regulation). In contrast, the inhibition of dermal pigmentation is regulated by the Id locus.

Enhancers in metazoan genomes are known to activate their target genes across both short and long genomic distances. Recent advances in chromosome conformation capture assays and single-cell imaging have shed light on the underlying chromatin contacts and dynamics. Yet the relationship between 3D physical enhancer-promoter (E-P) interactions and transcriptional activation remains unresolved.

Background: The 2021 WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors introduces more molecular markers for glioma reclassification, including TERT promoter (TERTp) mutation as a key feature in glioblastoma diagnosis.
Aims: Given the changes in the entities included in each subtype under the new classification, this research investigated the distribution, prognostic value, and correlations with other molecular alterations of TERTp mutation in different subgroups under this latest classification.
Methods: All glioma patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for surgical resection or biopsy from 2011 to 2022 were included.
