Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting structural variations (SV) within genomes of single cells or population of single cells by integrating a three-layered information of sequencing read depth, read strand orientation and haplotype phase. The method of the invention can detect deletions, duplications, polyploidies, translocations, inversions, and copy number neutral loss of heterozygosity (CNN-LOH), and more. The method of the invention can fully karyotype a genome comprehensively, and may be applied in research and clinical approaches. For example, the methods of the invention are useful for analysing cellular samples of patients for diagnosing or aiding a diagnosis, in reproductive medicine to detect embryonic abnormalities, or during therapeutic approaches based on cellular therapies to quality control genetically engineered cells, such as in adoptive T cell therapy and others.

Abstract: Provided herein is a pathway for adipocyte energy consumption regulation involving ARID5B, genetic variant rs1421085, IRX3, and IRX5. Compositions and methods for modulating the pathway in vitro and in vivo for anti-cachectic and anti-obesity effects are provided. Methods of identifying subjects at risk of developing a disorder mediated by a dysregulation of the energy consumption pathway are also provided.
