Rapid disassembly and Piwi-independent reassembly of Drosophila piRNA cluster heterochromatin following acute heat shock

Nicholas P. Rice, Samantha Ho, Zhiping Weng, William E. Theurkauf

This study shows that acute heat shock rapidly disassembles and reassembles Drosophila piRNA cluster heterochromatin, with RDC re-localization independent of maternal piRNAs.

Rare variants found in clinical gene panels illuminate the genetic and allelic architecture of orofacial clefting

Kimberly K. Diaz Perez, Sarah W. Curtis, Alba Sanchis‐Juan…·Elizabeth J. Leslie

The paper estimates the diagnostic yield of sequencing 418 genes in OFC cases and controls, finding a higher prevalence of likely pathogenic variants in cases.

Coding de novo mutations identified by WGS reveal novel orofacial cleft genes

Madison R. Bishop, Kimberly K. Diaz Perez, Miranda R. Sun…·Elizabeth J. Leslie

The paper identifies coding de novo mutations in whole-genome sequencing data from OFC cases and finds enrichment in genes expressed in craniofacial tissues and linked to OFC syndromes.
