The Decade of the Epigenomes? [PDF]
Genes & Cancer, 2011 The beginning of this century was not only marked by the publication of the first draft of the human genome but also set off a decade of intense research on epigenetic phenomena. Apart from DNA methylation, it became clear that many other factors including a wide range of histone modifications, different shades of chromatin accessibility, and a vast ...

Regenerating the epigenome [PDF]
The EMBO Reports, 2011 The ability of some organisms to regenerate parts of their body has fascinated scientists for decades. The process of regeneration depends on the potential of certain cells to proliferate and contribute to the formation of new tissue. Organisms have evolved two strategies by which to achieve this: the maintenance of adult stem cells and the induction ...

Epigenomics of macrophages [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2014 SummaryMacrophages play essential roles in tissue homeostasis, pathogen elimination, and tissue repair. A defining characteristic of these cells is their ability to efficiently adapt to a variety of abruptly changing and complex environments. This ability is intrinsically linked to a capacity to quickly alter their transcriptome, and this is tightly ...

Genomics and epigenomics [PDF]
The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2015 Migraine with (MA) and without aura (MO) is a common brain disorder that affects 15% of the general population. Genetic studies on twins have shown that MA and MO heritability spans between 50% and 60%[1]. Despite the high degree of heritability the genetic basis of MA and MO has not been elucidated and on the whole their etiology is far from being ...

Nature Communications, 2018 Over the past decade, remarkable breakthroughs in our understanding of epigenetic biology have coincided with an increased public interest in the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on health. It is well established that a balanced diet enhances life expectancy and helps to prevent or treat certain diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and ...

Cell, 2012 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.
