Inflammatory Biomarkers of Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Tuberculosis

Denis Awany, Dominique T Ariefdien, Simon C. Mendelsohn, Virginie Rozot, Humphrey Mulenga, Sarah Nyangu, Michele D. Tameris, Tumelo Moloantoa, Austin Katona, Fernanda Maruri, Firdows Noor, Ravindre Panchia, Khuthadzo E. Hlongwane, Kim Stanley, Yuri F. van der Heijden, , Petrus Tyambetyuv

This study identifies transcriptomic and proteomic features of asymptomatic tuberculosis, revealing distinct sub-clusters and a new blood signature, but finds weaker diagnostic performance for asymptomatic cases compared to symptomatic ones.

Direct measurement of sub-kilobase chromatin structure reveals that linker histone H1 broadly compacts chromatin, with differential impact amongst epigenetic states

Hera Canaj, Irene Duba, Andrés Mansisidor, Andrew Scortea, Ryan Johnson, Hugo Borges Pinto, Arnold Ou, Nicole Pagane, Juhee Pae, Dmitry V. Fyodorov, Arthur I. Skoultchi, Viviana I. Risca

The paper directly measures sub-kilobase chromatin structure using RICC-seq 2.0 and finds that linker histone H1 broadly compacts chromatin, with differential effects on gene expression and epigenetic states.
