doi.org/10.1038/gim.2017.56Get rights and content Abstract Purpose Invasive diagnostic prenatal testing can provide the most comprehensive information about the genetic status of a fetus. Noninvasive prenatal screening methods, especially when using cell-free DNA (cfDNA), are often limited to reporting only on trisomies 21, 18, and 13 and sex chromosome aneuploidies. This…

Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction that results from an exaggerated host immune response to disseminate infection.1 Despite improvements in treatment strategies, sepsis remains a leading cause of death in critically ill patients worldwide.2 Low platelet number, known as thrombocytopenia, is common in infectious diseases (also sometimes referred to…

Abstract Nuclear noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression and chromatin organization. The progress in studying nuclear ncRNAs depends on the ability to identify the genome-wide spectrum of contacts of ncRNAs with chromatin. To address this question, a panel of RNA–DNA proximity ligation techniques has been developed. However,…
