Influence of Nuclear Structure on formation of radiation-induced lethal lesions
Daniel A. Friedman, Daniel F. Pilch (2016) · Genetics & Biomedical Research
Instructions
Use this skill when working with topics related to Hi-C, chromosome conformation, radiation biology, chromatin architecture.
When applying this skill:
- Apply Hi-C and chromosome conformation capture techniques to study nuclear organization
- Analyze radiation effects on three-dimensional genome architecture
- Interpret topologically associating domain (TAD) disruption and genomic instability
Key Concepts
- Hi-C
- chromosome conformation
- radiation biology
- chromatin architecture
- DNA damage
- topologically associating domains
- nuclear organization
- 3C technologies
Methods & Techniques
- High-throughput sequencing of chromosome conformation capture experiments.
- Analysis of spatial organization of DNA within the nucleus.
- Examination of transcriptional programs linking genomic locations.
- Review of existing models of radiation-induced DNA damage and repair mechanisms.
Key Findings
- Lethal chromosome rearrangements are more likely to occur when damage affects multiple sites of contact within the DNA.
- Transcriptionally active regions of the genome are preferentially susceptible to radiation-induced damage.
- The spatial distribution of DNA and timing of radiation events significantly influence the formation of lethal lesions.
- High-throughput spatial analysis can enhance understanding of chromosome aberrations that lead to cell death.
Prerequisites
- Domain knowledge in Genetics & Biomedical Research
