Nuclearstructure

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
