DAnCER: Disease-Annotated Chromatin Epigenetics Resource
Chromatin modification (CM) is a set of epigenetic processes that govern many aspects of DNA replication, transcription and repair. CM is carried out by groups of physically interacting proteins, and their disruption has been linked to a number of complex human diseases. CM remains largely unexplored, however, especially in higher eukaryotes such as human. Here we present the DAnCER resource, w...
متن کاملChromatin structure and epigenetics.
In eukaryotic cells, the DNA molecule is found in the form of a nucleoprotein complex named chromatin. The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, which comprises 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histones (made of two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histones). Each nucleosome is linked to the next by small segments of linker DNA. Most chromatin is further co...
متن کاملChromatin and Epigenetics
Wrapping DNA around protein beads, to form socalled nucleosomes, is an ingenious invention of nature allowing the condensation of an enormous amount of genomic information into a tiny package. The assembly of DNAwith histone proteins, the chromatin, increases genome stability, but it also hinders the access of enzymes needed to transcribe the encoded information. Bliss or burden, the chromatin ...
متن کاملEpigenetics and Chromatin Remodeling Play a Role in Lung Disease
Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA-associated silencing by small non-coding RNAs. All these mechanisms are crucial for normal development, differentiation and tissue-specific gene expre...
متن کاملTopical Review on Epigenetics and Chromatin Modifications Epigenetics: Beyond Chromatin Modifications and Complex Genetic Regulation
Chromatin modifications and epigenetics may play important roles in many plant processes, including developmental regulation, responses to environmental stimuli, and local adaptation. Chromatin modifications describe biochemical changes to chromatin state, such as alterations in the specific type or placement of histones, modifications of DNA or histones, or changes in the specific proteins or ...
