We found this fantastic resource built by Dr. John Rinn and his lab at the University of Colorado – Boulder. It’s a free, online series of courses that give you […]
Building Layers of Epigenome and Transcriptome Spatial Information in Single CellsMarch 27, 2023Layers make things a lot more interesting—a cake with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry layers is much more decadent than a single-tier vanilla one. And now the labs of Rong Fan (Yale University), Gonçalo Castelo-Branco (Karolinska Institute), and Yanxlang Deng (now at University of Pennsylvania) have put the icing on the cake with a new paper […]
eBook: Epigenetics & DNA MethylationNovember 21, 2022One of the longest-known and most studied epigenetic markers is DNA methylation, which can regulate gene expression and genomic organization in nearly all organisms. In eukaryotes, the primary modification of DNA is found in cytosines (C), where DNA Methyltransferases mediate the transfer of a methyl group to cytosines, converting them to 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), minor modifications […]
eBook: Epigenomics of SpermJune 9, 2022Some of the most interesting and important epigenetic phenomena occur in sperm. In addition to passing genetic paternal information, experiences and exposures can be encoded in the epigenome and inherited as well. In this EpiGenie ebook, we present summaries of several studies on exploring the role of epigenetic processes in sperm biology. They are divided […]
Webinar: Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Workshop – Dr. Toryn PoolmanFebruary 28, 2022If you’re new to chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), or you’re thinking about giving it a try, you will want to take the time to watch this webinar first! Our friends at Proteintech put together an excellent workshop led by Dr. Toryn Poolman at University College London that covers a ton of tips and tricks that will […]
Webinar: The Epigenetics of the Exposome and Aging – Paul G. ShielsOctober 2, 2019Don’t miss this great webinar detailing some of the latest discoveries about the role of epigenetics in aging. Aging results in a gradual and progressive loss of physiological functions and physical abilities over time. Overcoming the growing burden of age-related issues is one of the greatest challenges facing modern society. These issues are leading to […]
ChIP 101: Beginner’s Guide to ChIP AssaysJuly 24, 2019Become a ChIP Assay Expert! The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay is one of the best ways to study the association of DNA-binding proteins with chromatin and the localization of histone modifications throughout the genome. But ChIP assays take time to master. Our friends at Active Motif have put together this free ChIP 101 eBook that […]
eBook: NeuroepigeneticsJuly 4, 2019It’s become increasing clear that epigenetic mechanisms have a unique role to play in the brain. From neurodevelopment, to memory, to brain function epigenetic mechanisms seem to be very important. These mechanisms are also frequently perturbed in neurological disorders. In this ebook, we’ve assembled summaries of research related to uncovering the many roles of epigenetics […]
