The bacterial epigenome [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Microbiology, 2019
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.

The evolving epigenome [PDF]

open access: possibleHuman Molecular Genetics, 2013
Epigenetic studies include the investigation of DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and gene regulation by noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Epigenetic alterations are critical for early developmental processes, the silencing of the inactive X-chromosome and tissue-specific gene regulation. A comprehensive picture of epigenetic patterns

Vitamin A and the epigenome

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2015
The epigenetic phenomena refer to heritable changes in gene expression other than those in the DNA sequence, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications. Major research progress in the last few years has provided further proof that environmental factors, including diet and nutrition, can influence physiologic and pathologic processes through ...

Probing the epigenome [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Chemical Biology, 2015
Epigenetic chemical probes are having a strong impact in biological discovery and target validation. Systematic coverage of emerging epigenetic target classes with these potent, selective, cell-active chemical tools will profoundly influence understanding of the human biology and pathology of chromatin-templated mechanisms.

The Concepts of Epigenomics and Cell Epigenomes

2022
Genetics cannot solely explain genetic variations in humans and disease developments. We see varying differences in phenotypes and disease susceptibility in organisms that have the same genetic make-up, e.g., monozygotic twins and cloned animals.

Introduction to Epigenomics and Epigenome-Wide Analysis

2009
Epigenetics is the study of heritable change other than those encoded in DNA sequence. Cytosine methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides is the most well-studied epigenetic phenomenon, although epigenetic changes also encompass non-DNA methylation mechanisms, such as covalent histone modifications, micro-RNA interactions, and chromatin remodeling ...

Epigenomics and Nutrition

2007
Epigenomics or epigenetics refers to the modification of DNA that can influence the phenotype through changing gene expression without altering the nucleotide sequence of the DNA. Two examples are methylation of DNA and acetylation of the histone DNA-binding proteins. Dietary components - both nutrients and nonnutrients - can influence these epigenetic

Sensing the epigenome

Trends in Plant Science, 2008
Recent studies of plant development and environmental stress responses have converged on the roles of RNA and its metabolism as primary regulators of gene action. This RNA-based system appears to represent a versatile platform both for maintaining epigenetic memory and for reprogramming gene control in response to external signals.

Epigenomics in Psychiatry

Neuropsychobiology, 2009
It is not known whether and how epigenetic factors contribute to the pathophysiology of mental disorders. As possible mechanisms, epimutations during embryogenesis, epigenetic memory of environmental effects, and the role of epigenetic gene regulation in the action mechanisms of treatment may be considered.

Epigenomics AG

Personalized Medicine, 2006
Earlier diagnosis and a more individualized choice of treatment options has the potential to greatly improve the outcome of life-threatening diseases. DNA methylation has proven to be a rich source of biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and drug response prediction in cancer and other diseases.
