Biocomputers Use miRNA Profiles to ID and Kill Cancer Cells

September 7, 2011

Computers for your cells? Sounds like the plot to a Star Trek episode, but researchers report that they’ve developed a biocomputer that can figure out if a cell is cancerous and destroy it by triggering apoptosis —all by detecting miRNA levels, potentially leading to much more targeted cancer therapies than what’s available now. The researchers […]

NCBI NIH Tools for Surfing the Epigenome

August 31, 2011

Massive epigenome mapping projects have led to a deluge of data that eager epigeneticists can’t wait dive into, but it’s not quite that simple. It’s no easy feat to learn about the best places to download, view or manipulate epigenomic data, much less understand the tidal wave of information once you’ve found it. It’s all […]

EpiGenie Reviews Epigenetics: A Reference Manual

August 31, 2011

Epigenetics is such a young and expanding field that it’s tough to find a lot of good reference material out there. And what you can find is usually scattered all across any number of places on the World Wide Web. That’s why we are so stoked to see the new epigenetics text, Epigenetics: A Reference […]

SNPs Display their Methyl Magnetism

August 25, 2011

Some people believe that the right sports car, dog, or teeth whitener will turn them into an irresistible magnet for the opposite sex. While impressive epigenetics knowledge may not help you attract Mr./Ms. Right, two recent papers strengthen the case that single-nucleotide variants can act as powerful magnets for DNA methylation. In the first paper […]

Quick Interviews from Keystone Symposia’s Meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility

August 25, 2011

We set out to provide a few nice interviews with some of the outstanding cast of researchers that presented at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility last spring, but one thing led to another, and well…here they are now. Apologies for the delay, but we think you’ll agree it was worth the […]

A New Spin on RNA Purification

August 18, 2011

RNA isolation. It doesn’t get that much hype, but it should considering it’s the first, and perhaps most critical, step in virtually every RNA analysis workflow out there. Today’s favorite techniques are increasingly accurate and precise and some applications, like next-gen sequencing, will have you swimming in data analysis for weeks. That’s not such a […]

RNA Pol II Calls the Shots in Random Monoallelic Expression

August 15, 2011

Just because two things ultimately do the same thing doesn’t mean they’re equivalent. Take Facebook and MySpace, for example. Researchers from the University of Washington say that imprinting and random allele-specific expression have two very different mechanisms, even though the outcome—only one of the two alleles of a gene is translated—is the same. H3K9me3 and […]

Microfluidic qRT-PCR Unlocks Single Cell miRNA Secrets

August 12, 2011

Recent headlines tell us that the average American lives in a household of 2.62 people, chows down too many potato chips, and thinks that the “Dirty Dancing” remake is a bad idea. But averaging over populations obscures the often highly variable characteristics of individuals, and the same is true for cells. To get a better […]

EpiGenie Stem Cell Epigenetics Review

August 4, 2011

We’re big fans of stem cell research, the vast potential it represents and the close connection it has to epigenetics. Apparently we aren’t alone either, judging by the avalanche of top-notch papers that regularly cross our monitors. We’ve even give serious consideration to launching another site just to be able cover the area properly (StemGenie, […]

A Beginner’s Guide to ChIP

August 3, 2011

Do you lay awake at night reflecting on how much you want to get started with ChIP, but stressed that you don’t know where to start? Who doesn’t? Good thing for you, our friends at Abcam have come to your rescue, so you can rest at ease counting sheep instead. Abcam just published a killer […]
