eBook: Chromatin & Gene Expression

June 14, 2023

Gene expression is regulated by a range of factors, but ultimately begins with chromatin – it’s structure, configuration, activation, and “openness”. All of these factors can be dynamically regulated by epigenetics. In this eBook, we bring to your attention some of the most interesting articles in chromatin biology and gene expression, from practical methods to […]

Gene Topology or Gene Expression? NSD1 Chooses Both to Protect the Brain

May 23, 2023

We have to make a lot of decisions in our lives, but sometimes when given two choices, going with both can be the right answer. For example, researchers working on neurodevelopment figured out two different phenomena that regulate non-CG methylation in the postnatal brain, but how are they connected? Now, Harrison Gabel’s lab (Washington University […]

BIND&MODIFY and NOMe-HiC Go the Distance with Single-Molecule, Long-Range Epigenetic Maps

May 4, 2023

Staying in your own neighborhood can be nice, but sometimes you need to go on a trip and see different scenery. Chromatin is a lot like that—things can look very different along a DNA strand that bends and folds. That’s why two separate teams have come up with multi-omics methods that go the whole distance […]

eBook: Epigenetics of Cancer & Disease Risk

May 3, 2023

The application of epigenetic approaches to disease research is moving quickly and hundreds of new papers are published every year, from virology to neurobiology and cancer. In this eBook, we present short summaries of interesting discoveries that caught our attention in each of these areas. Table of Contents Chapter 1: Epigenetics in Disease Risk Taking […]

Online Learning: Rinnformatics – Genome Informatics Classes for Everyone

April 14, 2023

If you’ve ever wanted to develop informatics skills to analyze sequencing data, but weren’t sure where to start, then we have the place for you! 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 […]

Going Green! – How Histone Recycling Promotes the Preservation of Pristine Epigenetic Landscapes

March 6, 2023

The climate crisis and our need to produce less waste have made recycling an everyday concept; however, whether histone proteins “go green” during DNA replication has remained somewhat in doubt. The epigenetic environment becomes disrupted during DNA replication and must be restored to maintain genome regulation and cell identity; now, two high-efficiency epigenetic studies provide […]

eBook: Epigenetics of Aging

January 16, 2023

Aging and longevity research has moved to the forefront of epigenetics in recent years. From DNA Methylation, to the Exposome and “translational inheritance” we are all avidly interested in this topic. In this eBook we review recent and intriguing research into this topic. Table of Contents Novel Multiomic Epigenetic Clock May Decipher How Epigenetic Aging […]

eBook: Epigenetics & DNA Methylation

November 21, 2022

One 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 […]

Can New RNA Modification Profiling Tools Help in Your Epitranscriptomic Bid for Glory?

November 21, 2022

Two new sequencing methods may just make your day if you happen to be bidding for glorious insights into the epitranscriptome. Inspired by the bisulfite conversion used to assay DNA methylation, BID-seq and GLORI now enable single-nucleotide transcriptome-wide profiling of two crucial RNA modifications – N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and pseudouridine (the C5-glycoside isomer of uridine). RNA […]
