EpiChIP: gene-by-gene quantification of epigenetic modification levels
The combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation with next-generation sequencing technology (ChIP-seq) is a powerful and increasingly popular method for mapping protein-DNA interactions in a genome-wide fashion. The conventional way of analyzing this data is to identify sequencing peaks along the chromosomes that are significantly higher than the read background. For histone modifications and o...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modification of the Repair Donor Regulates Targeted Gene Correction
Optimizing design of vectors is critical to effective gene therapy. In targeted gene correction (TGC), cleavage of chromosomal DNA near a mutation stimulates homology-directed repair of a target gene using a donor provided in trans. We have systematically addressed epigenetic parameters of donor design, using a flow-based assay to quantify correction frequencies and expression levels of a green...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modification of Gene Expression in Honey Bees by Heterospecific Gland Secretions
BACKGROUND In the honey bee (Apis mellifera), queen and workers have different behavior and reproductive capacity despite possessing the same genome. The primary substance that leads to this differentiation is royal jelly (RJ), which contains a range of proteins, amino acids, vitamins and nucleic acids. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been found to play an important role in regulating the expression of pr...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Epigenetic Modifications of Gene Expression in Tumorigenesis
The five leading causes of cancer-related deaths are lung (1,760,000 deaths), colorectal (862,000 deaths), stomach (783,000 deaths), liver (782,000 deaths), and breast (627,000 deaths) cancers. Epigenetic changes can alter chromatin compaction, leading to the regulation of geneexpression without changing the primary DNA sequence.Epigenetic mechanisms are normally involved incellular processes s...
متن کاملepigenetic brca2 gene in epithelial ovarian cancer
background ovarian cancer is the most common fatal gynecologic malignancy in women. the brca2 gene has a role in regulation of cell cycle during proliferation, differentiation and dna repair. changes in the methylation of brca2 may be an effective mechanism for ovarian cancer. objectives the aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between ovarian cancer and methylation status o...
