Maternal corticotropin-releasing hormone is associated with LEP DNA methylation at birth and in childhood: an epigenome-wide study in Project Viva [PDF]
BackgroundCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a central role in regulating the secretion of cortisol which controls a wide range of biological processes. Fetuses overexposed to cortisol have increased risks of disease in later life.

The ALMA-PILS survey: first detection of methyl isocyanide (CH$_3$NC) in a solar-type protostar [PDF]
Methyl isocyanide (CH$_3$NC) is the isocyanide with the largest number of atoms confirmed in the interstellar medium (ISM), but it is not an abundant molecule, having only been detected towards a handful of objects. Conversely, its isomer, methyl cyanide (CH$_3$CN), is one of the most abundant complex organic molecules detected in the ISM, with ...

Methylation of Replicating and Nonreplicating DNA in the Ciliate \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Methylation of adenine in replicating and nonreplicating DNA of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila was examined. In growing cells, 87% of the methylation occurred on the newly replicated daughter strand, but methylation was also detectable on the ...

DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferases [PDF]
The prevailing views as to the form, function, and regulation of genomic methylation patterns have their origin many years in the past, at a time when the structure of the mammalian genome was only dimly perceived, when the number of protein-encoding ...

DNA methylation and socioeconomic status in a Mexican-American birth cohort. [PDF]
Background: Maternal social environmental stressors during pregnancy are associated with adverse birth and child developmental outcomes, and epigenetics has been proposed as a possible mechanism for such relationships.

Constraints of the formation and abundances of methyl carbamate, a glycine isomer, in hot corinos [PDF]
Methyl carbamate CH$_3$OC(O)NH$_2$ is an isomer of glycine. Quantum chemical analyses show that methyl carbamate is more stable isomer than glycine. Because of this, there could be a higher chance for methyl carbamte to exist in the interstellar medium as compared to glycine.

DNA methylation at the DAT promoter and risk for psychopathology. Intergenerational transmission between school-age youths and their parents in a community sample [PDF]
Background: The effect of gene polymorphisms and promoter methylation, associated with maladaptive developmental outcomes, vary depending on environmental factors (e.g., parental psychopathology).

Understanding the Methyl-TROSY effect over a wide range of magnetic fields [PDF]
The use of relaxation interference in the methyl Transverse Relaxation-Optimized SpectroscopY (TROSY) experiment has opened new avenues for the study of large proteins and protein assemblies in nuclear magnetic resonance. So far, the theoretical description of the methyl-TROSY experiment has been limited to the slow-tumbling approximation, which is ...
