Abstract Objectives An increasing body of evidence indicates altered DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease, yet the reproducibility and utility of such methylation changes are largely unexplored. We aimed to further elucidate the role of dysregulated DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the biomarker potential of methylation‐based ...

Next Generation Epigenetic Detection Technique:Identifying Methylated DNA using Graphene Nanopore [PDF]
DNA methylation plays a pivotal role in the genetic evolution of both embryonic and adult cells. For adult somatic cells, location and dynamics of methylation has been very precisely pinned down with the 5-cytosine markers on cytosinephosphate- guanine (CpG) units.

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 ...

Targeted Long‐Read Sequencing as a Single Assay Improves the Diagnosis of Spastic‐Ataxia Disorders
ABSTRACT Objective The hereditary spastic‐ataxia spectrum disorders are a group of disabling neurological diseases. The traditional genetic testing pathway is complex, multistep and leaves many cases unsolved. We aim to streamline and improve this process using long‐read sequencing. Methods We developed a targeted long‐read sequencing strategy with the

Mathematical framework of epigenetic DNA methylation in gene body Arabidopsis [PDF]
In aiming to explain the establishment, maintenance and stability of methylation pattern in gene body of Arabidopsis we propose here a theoretical framework for understanding how the methylated and unmethylated states of cytosine residues are maintained and transmitted during DNA replication.

DNA demethylation by ROS1a in rice vegetative cells promotes methylation in sperm. [PDF]
Epigenetic reprogramming is required for proper regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. In Arabidopsis, active DNA demethylation is crucial for seed viability, pollen function, and successful reproduction. The DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase

Unleashing the Power of Multiomics: Unraveling the Molecular Landscape of Peripheral Neuropathy
ABSTRACT Peripheral neuropathies (PNs) affect over 20 million individuals in the United States, manifesting as a wide range of sensory, motor, and autonomic nerve symptoms. While various conditions such as diabetes, metabolic disorders, trauma, autoimmune disease, and chemotherapy‐induced neurotoxicity have been linked to PN, approximately one‐third of

In vivo targeting of de novo DNA methylation by histone modifications in yeast and mouse
Methylation of cytosines (5meC) is a widespread heritable DNA modification. During mammalian development, two global demethylation events are followed by waves of de novo DNA methylation.

A Stochastic Model for the Formation of Spatial Methylation Patterns [PDF]
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism whose important role in development has been widely recognized. This epigenetic modification results in heritable changes in gene expression not encoded by the DNA sequence. The underlying mechanisms controlling DNA methylation are only partly understood and recently different mechanistic models of enzyme ...
