Project description:Blastocystis is an anaerobic unicellular protozoal parasite infecting the gastrointestinal tract of humans and a wide range of animals. It is one of the most common enteric microorganisms with higher prevalence rates in developing than in developed countries. Feco-oral is the main route of transmission where low socioeconomic conditions, poor hygienic practices, close contact with animals, and drinking contaminated water act as major risk factors. Infection with Blastocystis was demonstrated in both symptomatic and asymptomatic people. For a long period, Blastocystis was considered a commensal organism with no pathogenic role, but recently, many studies linked it to different gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Association with irritable bowel syndrome and colorectal cancer was also reported.
This study aims to:
- Identify subtypes of human Blastocystis isolates in Sohag by using RFLP-PCR and provide additional information on the molecular epidemiology of this parasite in our locality.

Project description:Chromosomal regions harboring tumor suppressors and oncogenes are often deleted or amplified. Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) detects segmental DNA copy number alterations in tumor DNA relative to a normal control. The recent development of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) array, that spans the human genome in a tiling path manner with >32,000 clones, has facilitated whole genome profiling at an unprecedented resolution. Using this technology, we comprehensively describe and compare the genomes of 28 commonly used non-small cell lung carcinoma cell models, derived from 18 adenocarcinomas, 9 squamous cell carcinomas, and 1 large cell carcinoma. Analysis at such resolution not only provided a detailed genomic alteration template for each of these model cell lines, but revealed novel regions of frequent duplication and deletion. Significantly, a detailed analysis of chromosome 7 identified 6 distinct regions of alterations across this chromosome implicating the presence of multiple novel oncogene loci on this chromosome. As well, a comparison between the squamous and adenocarcinoma cells revealed alterations common to both subtypes, such as the loss of 3p and gain of 5p, in addition to multiple hotspots more frequently associated with only one subtype. Interestingly, chromosome 3q, which is known to be amplified in both subtypes, showed two distinct regions of alteration, one frequently altered in squamous and one more frequent altered in adenocarcinoma. In summary, our data demonstrates the unique information generated by high resolution analysis of NSCLC genomes and uncovers the presence of genetic alterations prevalent in the different NSCLC subtypes.

Project description:Genome graphs, including the recently released draft human pangenome graph, can represent the breadth of genetic diversity and thus transcend the limits of traditional linear reference genomes. However, there are no genome-graph-compatible tools for analyzing whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. To close this gap, we introduce methylGrapher, a tool tailored for accurate DNA methylation analysis by mapping WGBS data to a genome graph. Notably, methylGrapher can reconstruct methylation patterns along haplotype paths precisely and efficiently. To demonstrate the utility of methylGrapher, we analyzed the WGBS data derived from five individuals whose genomes were included in the first Human Pangenome draft as well as WGBS data from ENCODE (EN-TEx). Along with standard performance benchmarking, we show that methylGrapher fully recapitulates DNA methylation patterns defined by classic linear genome analysis approaches. Importantly, methylGrapher captures a substantial number of CpG sites that are missed by linear methods, and improves overall genome coverage while reducing alignment reference bias. Thus, methylGrapher is a first step towards unlocking the full potential of Human Pangenome graphs in genomic DNA methylation analysis.
