More Epigenomic Differences Found in Twins?July 24, 2012Twins may look alike, and even share identical genomes, but according to new studies, their epigenomes can be surprisingly different. Examination of the DNA methylation patterns in sets of twins revealed that early environmental conditions can alter epigenomes, and have a big impact on individual variability. A research effort headed up by Jeff Craig and […]
Guide: Quick Tips for ChIP BeginnersJuly 17, 2012 At Abcam we run quite a few ChIP assays and we interact with customers that run even more than us. Lately, we’ve noticed that more researchers are turning to ChIP for the first time as gene regulation studies continue to grow. So we thought we’d share a couple of quick tips for various aspects of […]
Pushing the Technology Frontier in Epigenetics Research with Dr. Andrew FeinbergJuly 16, 2012Dr. Andy Feinberg discusses what technology advances are needed in the field of epigenetics. This interview was shot on campus at Johns Hopkins University. This video was brought to you by epigenetics supporters at EMD Millipore Single Cell Analysis One of the areas I think is going to be really important is single-cell analysis. […]
ChIP Principles and Troubleshooting with Dr. Karen HallsJuly 16, 2012This webinar delivered by Dr. Karen Halls covers and introduction to chromatin and the ChIP process. It reviews protocols for ChIP, antibody selection, optimization of the method and includes troubleshooting guidance.
Guide: Simple Tips to Boost Your Bisulfite-Based ApplicationsJuly 11, 2012 Bisulfite conversion remains a key player in almost every study involving DNA methylation. Since DNA methylation is emerging as a key mechanism in a diverse range regulator processes and disease mechanisms, many researchers new to the field are turning to bisulfite-based analyses that might not be experts in the approach. We’ve been optimizing bisulfite […]
