The Epigenomics of Cancer [PDF]
Aberrant gene function and altered patterns of gene expression are key features of cancer. Growing evidence shows that acquired epigenetic abnormalities participate with genetic alterations to cause this dysregulation. Here, we review recent advances in understanding how epigenetic alterations participate in the earliest stages of neoplasia, including ...

melRNA-seq for Expression Analysis of SINE RNAs and Other Medium-Length Non-Coding RNAs
Background Small interspersed elements (SINEs) are transcribed by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) to produce RNAs typically 100–500 nucleotides in length.

The eukaryotic genome is packaged into a highly ordered chromatin structure, with specific domains regulating the transcription patterns of local genes. Hathaway et al. now present a breakthrough technique in the artificial induction of chromatin marks and use this experimental model to test the properties of an induced heterochromatic domain.

In all domains of life, genomes contain epigenetic information superimposed over the nucleotide sequence. Epigenetic signals control DNA-protein interactions and can cause phenotypic change in the absence of mutation. A nearly universal mechanism of epigenetic signalling is DNA methylation.

Epigenetic modifications are reversible changes to a cell's DNA or histones that alter gene expression but not DNA sequence. The present review will explore epigenomic profiling and bioinformatics techniques for the study of kidney development and disease.Reversible DNA and histone modifications influence chromatin accessibility and can be measured by ...

Epigenetic alterations in TRAMP mice: epigenome DNA methylation profiling using MeDIP-seq
Purpose We investigated the genomic DNA methylation profile of prostate cancer in transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) cancer model and to analyze the crosstalk among targeted genes and the related functional pathways. Methods Prostate
