Abstract:
Normal B cell development, activation, and terminal differentiation depend on the intricate dynamics of cooperating epigenetic and non-coding components to control the level and timing of expression of thousands of genes. Recent genome-wide studies have integratively mapped changes in the chromatin landscape, DNA methylome, 3-dimensional interactome, and coding and non-coding transcriptomes of normal and malignant B cells. Genetic ablation in human cells and mouse models has begun to elucidate the coordinated roles of essential epigenetic modifiers, key transcription factors, and long non-coding RNAs in B cell biology. Perturbation of these stewards of the epigenome drive B cell oncogenesis, but may be exploited to develop new avenues of therapy.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
