Comprehensive evaluation of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine profiling approaches in human DNA
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2017 Background The discovery that 5-methylcytosine (5mC) can be oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins has prompted wide interest in the potential role of 5hmC in reshaping the mammalian DNA methylation ...

Environmentally Induced Epigenetic Plasticity in Development: Epigenetic Toxicity and Epigenetic Adaptation [PDF]
Current Epidemiology Reports, 2018 Epigenetic processes represent important mechanisms underlying developmental plasticity in response to environmental exposures. The current review discusses three classes of environmentally-induced epigenetic changes reflecting two aspects of that plasticity, toxicity effects as well as adaptation in the process of development.Due to innate resilience,

Role of epigenetics in cardiovascular diseases: An out and out check
Intelligent Pharmacy, 2023 Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field that deals with the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without a change in DNA sequence.

Teaching & Learning Inquiry: The ISSOTL Journal, 2020 Mental health researchers emphasize the importance of practitioner understanding of biology-environment interplay. Accordingly, our goal of the study described in this article was to understand students’ preconceptions and misconceptions about biological

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2019 Epigenetics controls the expression of genes and is responsible for cellular phenotypes. The fundamental basis of these mechanisms involves in part the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of DNA and proteins, in particular, the nuclear histones. DNA can be methylated or demethylated on cytosine.

Epigenetics and Evolution [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2014 Epigenetic mechanisms traditionally have been studied in the domains of development and disease, but they may also play important roles in ecological and evolutionary processes. In this article, we revisit historical as well as recent studies that indicate significant impacts of epigenetic processes on evolution.

Nature Communications, 2020 Endocrine therapy resistance occurs often in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Here, the authors find that 3D epigenome remodelling at ER-bound enhancer-promoter interactions is a key mechanism underlying endocrine resistance.

Nature Communications, 2019 The connection between DNA replication timing and changes that occur to the epigenome in cancer are still poorly understood. Here, the authors perform Repli-Seq and integrated epigenome analyses and find that genomic regions that undergo long-range ...

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).
