One More Reason to Eat Your Wheaties: Your Microbiome and Histone AcetylationFebruary 7, 2023We all know how important it is to eat fiber, whether in the form of fruits and veggies, or even a big bowl of fiber-rich cereal. Now, research from Ben Garcia’s lab (WUSTL) gives us one more reason to eat our Wheaties—our gut microbiome needs it to acetylate histones and possibly ward off diseases like […]
Taking “CoRSIV” Writing from Short Notes to “Novel” Epigenetic Findings in Disease RiskJanuary 30, 2023Previously, a perfectly-penned study uncovered a type of DNA methylation variation “written” in the genome, which varies from person to person but remains consistent across tissues. Deciphering these “CoRSIV” (correlated regions of systemic interindividual variation) notes supported a deeper understanding of epigenetic variance and the impact on disease, with blood DNA methylation profiles from these […]
scChIX-seq Brings Double the Fun to Single-Cell Histone Modification ProfilingJanuary 23, 2023How do you double your fun? An extra scoop of ice cream, coffee and a cake, or the epigenetic delights of single-cell profiling of not one but two histone modifications? In the latter case, the scChIX-seq (single-cell chromatin immunocleavage and unmixing sequencing) integrated framework may represent a wise choice for those looking to indulge while […]
