Evaluation of the usefulness of saliva for DNA methylation analysis in cohort studies
Introduction Epigenetic information such as DNA methylation is a useful biomarker that reflects complex gene‐environmental interaction. Peripheral tissues such as blood and saliva are commonly collected as the source of genomic DNA in cohort studies ...

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,

DNA Methylation Dictates Histone H3K4 Methylation [PDF]
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.

In utero tobacco smoke exposure, DNA methylation, and asthma in Latino children. [PDF]
BackgroundMaternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for chronic disease later in life and has been associated with variability of DNA methylation at specific cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) loci.

DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that is sometimes associated with epigenetic regulation of gene expression. As DNA methylation can be reversible at some loci, it is possible that methylation patterns may change within an organism that is ...

Purpose: Aging is one of the most important risk factors for a number of human diseases. Epigenetic alterations, including changes in DNA methylation patterns, have been reported to be one of the hallmarks of aging. Being a malleable process, the role of

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

The DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine retards cell growth and alters gene expression in canine mammary gland tumor cells [PDF]
Disruption of gene expression by DNA methylation changes is widely involved in tumorigenesis. Here,to investigate DNA methylation changes in canine, we treated a canine mammary gland tumor cell line with a DNA methylation inhibitor, 5-aza-2 ...
