Article Abstract
Recently, we were able to show that satellite DNA amplification (satDNA-AMP) is present in advanced prostate cancer. A chromosome microarray study provided first evidence that satDNA-AMP appears to be largely independent of centromere-near/pericentric euchromatic copy number alterations. Therefore, it might be carefully suggested that satDNA-AMP could be a new and independent marker for advanced tumor progression.

The flexibility of the spatio-temporal genome replication program during development and disease highlights the regulatory role of plastic epigenetic mechanisms over genetic determinants. Histone post-translational modifications are broadly implicated in replication timing control, yet the specific mechanisms through which individual histone marks influence replication dynamics, particularly in heterochromatin, remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that H3K36me3 dynamically enriches at pericentromeric heterochromatin, composed of major satellite DNA repeats, prior to replication during mid S phase in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with rearrangement of the mixed lineage leukemia gene express MLL-AF9 fusion protein, a transcription factor that impairs differentiation and drives expansion of leukemic cells. We report here that the zinc finger protein GFI1 together with the histone methyltransferase LSD1 occupies the promoter and regulates expression of the lncRNA ELDR in the MLL-r AML cell line THP-1. Forced ELDR overexpression enhanced the growth inhibition of an LSD1i/ATRA combination treatment and reduced the capacity of these cells to generate leukemia in xenografts, leading to a longer leukemia-free survival.

Introduction: Satellite DNA (satDNA) is a rapidly evolving component of plant genomes, typically found in (peri)centromeric, (sub)telomeric, and other heterochromatic regions. Due to their variability and species- or population-specific distribution, satDNA serves as valuable cytogenetic markers for studying chromosomal rearrangements and karyotype evolution among closely related species. Previous studies have identified species-specific subtelomeric repeats CS-1 in , HSR1 in , and HJSR in .

Study Question: Does exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) impact sperm DNA fragmentation?
Summary Answer: Higher PM2.5 exposure was associated with increased sperm DNA fragmentation, with greater effects observed in men of lower socioeconomic status (SES).
Precise Identification of Higher-Order Repeats (HORs) in T2T-CHM13 Assembly of Human Chromosome 21-Novel 52mer HOR and Failures of Hg38 Assembly.

Background: Centromeric alpha satellite DNA is organized into higher-order repeats (HORs), whose precise structure is often difficult to resolve in standard genome assemblies. The recent telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assembly of the human genome enables complete analysis of centromeric regions, including the full structure of HOR arrays.
Methods: We applied the novel high-precision GRMhor algorithm to the complete T2T-CHM13 assembly of human chromosome 21.
