Constitutively bound CTCF sites maintain 3D chromatin architecture and long-range epigenetically regulated domains [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The architectural protein CTCF is a mediator of chromatin conformation, but how CTCF binding to DNA is regulated remains poorly understood. Here the authors find that there is a shared subset of CTCF-bound sites resistant to protein depletion in ...

Epigenetic profiling to environmental stressors in model and non-model organisms: Ecotoxicology perspective [PDF]
Environmental Health and Toxicology, 2018 Epigenetics, potentially heritable changes in genome function that occur without alterations to DNA sequence, is an important but understudied component of ecotoxicology studies.

Epigenetic regulation in metabolic diseases: mechanisms and advances in clinical study
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023 Epigenetics regulates gene expression and has been confirmed to play a critical role in a variety of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoporosis, gout, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and others.

Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2020 Historically, cancer is known to be a genetic disease. It is now realized that it involves epigenetic abnormalities along with genetic alterations. Epigenetics is an extra layer of instruction that lies upon DNA and controls how the genes are read and ...

The Crosstalk of Epigenetics and Metabolism in Herpesvirus Infection
Viruses, 2020 Epigenetics is a versatile player in manipulating viral infection and a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of viral-induced diseases. Both epigenetics and metabolism are crucial in establishing a highly specific transcriptional network, which

Integrated epigenomic analysis stratifies chromatin remodellers into distinct functional groups
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2019 Background ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes are responsible for establishing and maintaining the positions of nucleosomes. Chromatin remodellers are targeted to chromatin by transcription factors and non-coding RNA to remodel the chromatin ...
