Evaluation of the usefulness of saliva for DNA methylation analysis in cohort studies
Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, 2019 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 ...

In utero tobacco smoke exposure, DNA methylation, and asthma in Latino children. [PDF]
, 2019 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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 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 ...

Frontiers 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,

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

DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferases [PDF]
, 2017 The prevailing views as to the form, function, and regulation of genomic methylation patterns have their origin many years in the past, at a time when the structure of the mammalian genome was only dimly perceived, when the number of protein-encoding ...

DNA demethylation by ROS1a in rice vegetative cells promotes methylation in sperm. [PDF]
, 2019 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
