Genome-wide identification of methylated CpG sites in nongenital cutaneous warts [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundLow-risk HPV infection has not been the subject of epigenetic investigation. The present study was carried out in order to investigate the methylation status of CpG sites in non-genital cutaneous warts.MethodsGenomic DNA was extracted from 24 paired epidermal samples of warts and normal skin.

The aim of the present study was to determine which individual or combined CpG sites among O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase CpG 74–89 in glioblastoma mainly affects the response to temozolomide resulting from CpG methylation using statistical ...

Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) enhances photodimer formation at methyl-CpG sites but suppresses dimer deamination [PDF]
Spontaneous deamination of cytosine to uracil in DNA is a ubiquitous source of C→T mutations, but occurs with a half life of ∼50 000 years. In contrast, cytosine within sunlight induced cyclobutane dipyrimidine dimers (CPD's), deaminate within hours to days.

Comparison of sequencing-based methods to profile DNA methylation and identification of monoallelic epigenetic modifications. [PDF]
Analysis of DNA methylation patterns relies increasingly on sequencing-based profiling methods. The four most frequently used sequencing-based technologies are the bisulfite-based methods MethylC-seq and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS),

Background We previously reported CpG-B injection at the primary tumor excision site prior to re-excision and sentinel node biopsy to result in immune activation of the sentinel lymph node (SLN), increased melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell rates in ...

Maternal corticotropin-releasing hormone is associated with LEP DNA methylation at birth and in childhood: an epigenome-wide study in Project Viva [PDF]
BackgroundCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a central role in regulating the secretion of cortisol which controls a wide range of biological processes. Fetuses overexposed to cortisol have increased risks of disease in later life.

Epigenetic age-predictor for mice based on three CpG sites
Epigenetic clocks for mice were generated based on deep-sequencing analysis of the methylome. Here, we demonstrate that site-specific analysis of DNA methylation levels by pyrosequencing at only three CG dinucleotides (CpGs) in the genes Prima1 , Hsf4 ,
