DNA Methylation Dictates Histone H3K4 Methylation [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 2007
Histone lysine methylation and DNA methylation contribute to transcriptional regulation. We have previously shown that acetylated histones are associated with unmethylated DNA and are nearly absent from the methylated DNA regions by using patch-methylated stable episomes in human cells.

A simple modification to the luminometric methylation assay to control for the effects of DNA fragmentation

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2015
Variations in DNA methylation have been implicated in a number of disorders. Changes in global DNA methylation levels have long been associated with various types of cancer.

Genome-wide negative feedback drives transgenerational DNA methylation dynamics in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Epigenetic variations of phenotypes, especially those associated with DNA methylation, are often inherited over multiple generations in plants. The active and inactive chromatin states are heritable and can be maintained or even be amplified by positive ...

Epigenetic features in the oyster Crassostrea gigas suggestive of functionally relevant promoter DNA methylation in invertebrates.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
DNA methylation is evolutionarily conserved. Vertebrates exhibit high, widespread DNA methylation whereas invertebrate genomes are less methylated, predominantly within gene bodies. DNA methylation in invertebrates is associated with transcription level,

Predictors and consequences of global DNA methylation in cord blood and at three years. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
DNA methylation changes have been implicated in many common chronic diseases leading to the hypothesis that environmental and age-related DNA methylation changes within individuals are involved in disease etiology.

DNA5mC Regulator-Mediated Molecular Clusters and Tumor Microenvironment Signatures in Glioblastoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Growing evidence links DNA methylation to tumor immunity. The impact of DNA methylation (5 mC) on the microenvironment surrounding tumors and immunotherapy remains to be clarified. Through clustering gene expression of 20 DNA methylation regulators, this

Decreased KAT5 Expression Impairs DNA Repair and Induces Altered DNA Methylation in Kidney Podocytes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Altered DNA methylation plays an important role in the onset and progression of kidney disease. However, little is known about how the changes arise in disease states.

The Arginine Methyltransferase PRMT6 Regulates DNA Methylation and Contributes to Global DNA Hypomethylation in Cancer

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: DNA methylation plays crucial roles in chromatin structure and gene expression. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns, including global hypomethylation and regional hypermethylation, are associated with cancer and implicated in oncogenic events. How

Decreased DNA methylation of a CpG site in the HBAP1 gene in plasma DNA from pregnant women. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study is to identify potential CpG site(s) or DNA methylation pattern(s) in the pseudo α-globin 1 gene (HBAP1 gene), the gene which locates in α-thalassemia-1 deletion mutation, to differentiate plasma DNA between pregnant

Guiding DNA Methylation [PDF]

open access: yesCell Stem Cell, 2011
How DNA methyltransferases, with their limited target specificity, establish cell-type-specific epigenetic patterns is poorly understood. Schübeler and colleagues (Lienert et al., 2011) now show that methylation-determining regions (MDRs) within promoter regions are sufficient to recapitulate endogenous patterns and dynamics of DNA methylation.
