Abstract Two patients with acute blastic transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) associated with strikingly elevated platelet counts showed abnormalities of chromosome 3q in addition to the standard Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome translocation. The first patient had an inversion of chromosome 3 (q21q26) cytologically identical to an inversion 3 previously reported in de novo acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and the second patient showed a translocation between chromosome 3q and the chromosome 9 homologue not involved in the Ph1 translocation, [t(3;9)(q21;q34)]. Previous studies had incriminated either 3q21 or 3q26 as the locus for a regulatory thrombopoietic gene, but the current study suggests that 3q21 is the relevant site.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) summarizes a group of chronic intestinal disorders with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis being most prominent. Though much effort is put into identification of causative factors, its etiology is still not understood. Risk factors for disease development include genetic predisposition and environmental triggers. Crucial for identification and analysis of relevant factors are mouse models. Experimental IBD in mice occurs spontaneously or is induced by chemicals, cell transfer, pathogens, or genetic mutation. These models were utilized for analyzing genetic contribution to disease and genotype-environmental interactions. In these studies, a variety of modifier loci were identified, thereby demonstrating the complexity of disease. A major contribution of distal chromosome 3 was independently replicated in several studies. The first colitogenic QTL in this region was detected using the IL-10-deficient mouse model and called cytokine deficiency-induced colitis susceptibility ( Cdcs) 1. This quantitative trait locus contains at least three subintervals with independent genetic factors. This locus or defined subintervals were replicated in at least seven studies, using models based on dysregulation of innate or adaptive immunity or pathogen control. In this review we illustrate the various models used for genetic mapping of susceptibility to experimental IBD and display Cdcs1-related loci as well as the mechanism of their contribution identified so far.

AbstractCreating gapless telomere-to-telomere assemblies of complex genomes is one of the ultimate challenges in genomics. We used long read technologies and an optical map based approach to produce a maize genome assembly composed of only 63 contigs. The B73-Ab10 genome includes gapless assemblies of chromosome 3 (236 Mb) and chromosome 9 (162 Mb), multiple highly repetitive centromeres and heterochromatic knobs, and 53 Mb of the Ab10 meiotic drive haplotype.
