port Systematic identification of interchromosomal interaction networks supports the existence of specialized RNA factories [METHODS] By genome.cshlp.org Published On :: 2024-10-29T06:46:08-07:00 Most studies of genome organization have focused on intrachromosomal (cis) contacts because they harbor key features such as DNA loops and topologically associating domains. Interchromosomal (trans) contacts have received much less attention, and tools for interrogating potential biologically relevant trans structures are lacking. Here, we develop a computational framework that uses Hi-C data to identify sets of loci that jointly interact in trans. This method, trans-C, initiates probabilistic random walks with restarts from a set of seed loci to traverse an input Hi-C contact network, thereby identifying sets of trans-contacting loci. We validate trans-C in three increasingly complex models of established trans contacts: the Plasmodium falciparum var genes, the mouse olfactory receptor "Greek islands," and the human RBM20 cardiac splicing factory. We then apply trans-C to systematically test the hypothesis that genes coregulated by the same trans-acting element (i.e., a transcription or splicing factor) colocalize in three dimensions to form "RNA factories" that maximize the efficiency and accuracy of RNA biogenesis. We find that many loci with multiple binding sites of the same DNA-binding proteins interact with one another in trans, especially those bound by factors with intrinsically disordered domains. Similarly, clustered binding of a subset of RNA-binding proteins correlates with trans interaction of the encoding loci. We observe that these trans-interacting loci are close to nuclear speckles. These findings support the existence of trans-interacting chromatin domains (TIDs) driven by RNA biogenesis. Trans-C provides an efficient computational framework for studying these and other types of trans interactions, empowering studies of a poorly understood aspect of genome architecture. Full Article
port Clinician-Reported Barriers and Needs for Implementation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring By www.jabfm.org Published On :: 2024-10-25T09:26:14-07:00 Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is associated with improved clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial patient health outcomes and is part of the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Medical Care. CGM prescription often takes place in endocrinology practices, yet 50% of adults with type 1 diabetes and 90% of all people with type 2 diabetes receive their diabetes care in primary care settings. This study examined primary care clinicians’ perceptions of barriers and resources needed to support CGM use in primary care. Methods: This qualitative study used semistructured interviews with primary care clinicians to understand barriers to CGM and resources needed to prescribe. Participants were recruited through practice-based research networks. Rapid qualitative analysis was used to summarize themes from interview findings. Results: We conducted interviews with 55 primary care clinicians across 21 states. Participants described CGM benefits for patients with varying levels of diabetes self-management and engagement. Major barriers to prescribing included lack of insurance coverage for CGM costs to patients, and time constraints. Participants identified resources needed to foster CGM prescribing, for example, clinician education, support staff, and EHR compatibility. Conclusion: Primary care clinicians face several challenges to prescribing CGM, but they are interested in learning more to help them offer it to their patients. This study reinforces the ongoing need for improved clinician education on CGM technology and continued expansion of insurance coverage for people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Full Article

port Decoding biology with massively parallel reporter assays and machine learning [Reviews] By genesdev.cshlp.org Published On :: 2024-10-16T07:18:56-07:00 Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) are powerful tools for quantifying the impacts of sequence variation on gene expression. Reading out molecular phenotypes with sequencing enables interrogating the impact of sequence variation beyond genome scale. Machine learning models integrate and codify information learned from MPRAs and enable generalization by predicting sequences outside the training data set. Models can provide a quantitative understanding of cis-regulatory codes controlling gene expression, enable variant stratification, and guide the design of synthetic regulatory elements for applications from synthetic biology to mRNA and gene therapy. This review focuses on cis-regulatory MPRAs, particularly those that interrogate cotranscriptional and post-transcriptional processes: alternative splicing, cleavage and polyadenylation, translation, and mRNA decay.

port A circular split nanoluciferase reporter for validating and screening putative internal ribosomal entry site elements [METHOD] By rnajournal.cshlp.org Published On :: 2024-10-16T07:18:13-07:00 Internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) recruit the ribosome to promote translation, typically in an m7G cap-independent manner. Although IRESs are well-documented in viral genomes, they have also been reported in mammalian transcriptomes, where they have been proposed to mediate cap-independent translation of mRNAs. However, subsequent studies have challenged the idea of these "cellular" IRESs. Current methods for screening and discovering IRES activity rely on a bicistronic reporter assay, which is prone to producing false positive signals if the putative IRES sequence has a cryptic promoter or cryptic splicing sites. Here, we report an assay for screening IRES activity using a genetically encoded circular RNA comprising a split nanoluciferase (nLuc) reporter. The circular split nLuc reporter is less susceptible to the various sources of false positives that adversely affect the bicistronic IRES reporter assay and provides a streamlined method for screening IRES activity. Using the circular split nLuc reporter, we find that nine reported cellular IRESs have minimal IRES activity. Overall, the circular split nLuc reporter offers a simplified approach for identifying and validating IRESs and exhibits reduced propensity for producing the types of false positives that can occur with the bicistronic reporter assay.
