German human methylome project started.
In the December issue of Cancer Research , Jones and Martiensen report on an AACR meeting of scientists interested in DNA methylation and epigenetics (1). The aim of that meeting was to prepare the grounds for a human epigenome project, which is certainly needed as concluded by Rauscher in an editorial in the same issue of Cancer Research (2). In this respect, we would like to announce that the...
متن کاملThe human placental methylome.
This review provides an overview of the unique features of DNA methylation in the human placenta. We discuss the importance of understanding placental development, structure, and function in the interpretation of DNA methylation data. Examples are given of how DNA methylation is important in regulating placental-specific gene expression, including monoallelic expression and X-chromosome inactiv...
متن کاملThe human placenta methylome.
Tissue-specific DNA methylation is found at promoters, enhancers, and CpG islands but also over larger genomic regions. In most human tissues, the vast majority of the genome is highly methylated (>70%). Recently, sequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA (MethylC-seq) has revealed large partially methylated domains (PMDs) in some human cell lines. PMDs cover up to 40% of the genome and are associate...
متن کاملThe German Academic Publishers Project - Gap
German Academic Publishers (GAP, www.gap-c.de) is a project funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Science Foundation, www.dfg.de) for the purpose of creating a new model for academic publishing. Activities commenced in December 2001 and funding is secure for two years; a follow-up proposal requesting an extension of funding for additional developments and integration will b...
متن کاملThe complex methylome of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori
The genome of Helicobacter pylori is remarkable for its large number of restriction-modification (R-M) systems, and strain-specific diversity in R-M systems has been suggested to limit natural transformation, the major driving force of genetic diversification in H. pylori. We have determined the comprehensive methylomes of two H. pylori strains at single base resolution, using Single Molecule R...
