In utero tobacco smoke exposure, DNA methylation, and asthma in Latino children. [PDF]
BackgroundMaternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for chronic disease later in life and has been associated with variability of DNA methylation at specific cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) loci.

There are associations between DNA methylation and the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), also known as lncRNA expression quantitative trait methylations (lnc-eQTMs). Lnc-eQTMs may induce a wide range of carcinogenesis pathways.

Plant-RRBS, a bisulfite and next-generation sequencing-based methylome profiling method enriching for coverage of cytosine positions [PDF]
Background: Cytosine methylation in plant genomes is important for the regulation of gene transcription and transposon activity. Genome-wide methylomes are studied upon mutation of the DNA methyltransferases, adaptation to environmental stresses or ...

Integrative DNA methylome analysis of pan-cancer biomarkers in cancer discordant monozygotic twin-pairs [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A key focus in cancer research is the discovery of biomarkers that accurately diagnose early lesions in non-invasive tissues. Several studies have identified malignancy-associated DNA methylation changes in blood, yet no general cancer ...

Epigenetic inactivation of tumour suppressor coding and non-coding genes in human cancer: an update [PDF]
Cancer cells undergo many different alterations during their transformation, including genetic and epigenetic events. The controlled division of healthy cells can be impaired through the downregulation of tumour suppressor genes.

Integrated pan-cancer analysis of CSMD2 as a potential prognostic, diagnostic, and immune biomarker
The protein encoded by CUB and Sushi Multiple Domains 2 (CSMD2) is likely involved in regulating the complement cascade reaction of the immune system. However, current scientific evidence on the comprehensive roles of CSMD2 in pan-cancer is relatively ...
