96 Reasons To Love Millipore’s Magna ChIP™ HT96 KitsApril 4, 2012Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is the workhorse of the epigenetics world, like a penny-stock is to a Wall St. broker. So why run just one or two at a time? That’s so five years ago. Now that the EMD Millipore Magna ChIP™ HT96 kits are on the scene, you can churn out up to 96 ChIP […]
Schizophrenia’s DNA Methylation FingerprintsApril 4, 2012By now, we’re all used to hearing about epigenetics in cancer or stem cell research, but its role in mental illness is still a pretty new concept. Understanding how exactly DNA methylation factors into schizophrenia may be a ways off, but new research promises to soon be able diagnose the condition through just a blood […]
Timeline for DNA Methylation in Mouse DevelopmentApril 4, 2012Not everyone is onboard with the new Facebook timeline, but here’s a timeline you can really get into. Researchers are reporting the first genome-scale, base-resolution timeline of DNA methylation in the mouse embryo, including an analysis of the DNA methylation of oocytes and sperm. To do this, the team analyzed mouse oocytes, sperm, zygotes, early […]
Epigenetics Before Sequencing with Dr. Steven HenikoffApril 4, 2012Dr. Steven Henikoff discusses interesting observations like chromosome puffs in polytene chromosomes back in the days before sequencing. This interview took place at the Keystone Symposia’s Epigenomics and Chromatin Dynamics joint meeting in January, 2012. Epigenetics Before Sequencing So when I was a graduate student you couldn’t do any of this stuff, right? It […]
