Webinar: Whole-genome Insights into Cancer as a Dysregulated Epigenome Allowing Cellular Growth Advantage at the Expense of the HostMarch 10, 2014Dr. Andrew Feinberg discusses recent work that has shed new light on the epigenome and it’s role in cancer. Abstract: We and our collaborators have been developing efforts toward whole genome approaches to epigenetic analysis of human disease, including array-based analysis and whole genome bisulfite sequencing. Surprising results have been the discovery of CpG island shores and large hypomethylated […]
Webinar: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in DevelopmentMarch 8, 2014Loyal A. Goff, Ph.D presents his research on: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in Development Abstract: Many studies are uncovering functional roles for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), yet few have been tested for in vivo relevance through genetic ablation in animal models. To investigate the functional relevance of lncRNAs in various physiological […]

DNA Methylation Reveals Your True AgeFebruary 28, 2014To the utter dismay of Hollywood actresses and men in the throes of a mid-life crises, the Epigenetic Clock has just chimed in to remind us that there really is no escaping time. A new report from Carola Weidner and team at Aachen University in Germany has just shown that, sort of like counting the rings in a […]
CRISPR-Cas, Zinc Fingers and Epigenetic Editing with Dr. Marianne RotsFebruary 27, 2014Epigenetic Editing is an emerging field that has sparked interest across a number of research groups. By using a fusion of TET we can now target specific genomic regions for demethylation in order to learn about their function and regulation. We got in touch with one of the field’s experts, Dr. Marianne Rots, commissioning editor of Clinical Epigenetics, […]
