Proposed TPE‐OLD model. TPE‐OLD genes are defined by a progressive modulation of gene expression following telomere attrition. In our study, focusing on the molecular mechanism of TPE‐OLD, we found that the TPE‐OLD loop requires a cis‐signature corresponding to a newly evolved Alu repeats (AluY). The Alu repeat can be either in an intergenic region, as

The molecular basis of lactase persistence: Linking genetics and epigenetics
Abstract Lactase persistence (LP) — the genetic trait that determines the continued expression of the enzyme lactase into adulthood — has undergone recent, rapid positive selection since the advent of animal domestication and dairying in some human populations.

DNA methylation profiling of the human major histocompatibility complex: A pilot study for the Human Epigenome Project [PDF]
The Human Epigenome Project aims to identify, catalogue, and interpret genome-wide DNA methylation phenomena. Occurring naturally on cytosine bases at cytosine-guanine dinucleotides, DNA methylation is intimately involved in diverse biological processes ...

Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.
