Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Closely related proteins MBD2 and MBD3 play distinctive but interacting roles in mouse development

TL;DR: Genetic and biochemical data together favor the view that MBD3 is a key component of the Mi-2/NuRD corepressor complex, whereas MBD2 may be one of several factors that can recruit this complex to DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide methylation profiling in Crohn's disease identifies altered epigenetic regulation of key host defense mechanisms including the Th17 pathway

TL;DR: A global methylation profile characteristic of ileal CD is defined and methylation status was predictive of disease status (sensitivity 0.71, specificity 0.83), providing an important insight into the impact of epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of CD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue of origin determines cancer-associated CpG island promoter hypermethylation patterns

TL;DR: The methylation profiles of 1,154 cancers from 7 different tissue types are analyzed and it is suggested that aberrantly hypermethylated genes are already repressed in pre-cancerous tissue and their hypermethylation does not directly contribute to cancer development via silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptionally repressed genes become aberrantly methylated and distinguish tumors of different lineages in breast cancer

TL;DR: The findings implicate aberrant DNA methylation as a marker of cell lineage rather than tumor progression and suggest that, in most cases, it does not cause the repression with which it is associated.
