Journal ArticleDOI
Transposition of native chromatin for fast and sensitive epigenomic profiling of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins and nucleosome position
TL;DR: The feasibility of analyzing an individual's epigenome on a timescale compatible with clinical decision-making is demonstrated and classes of DNA-binding factors that strictly avoided, could tolerate or tended to overlap with nucleosomes are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis
Rajnish A. Gupta,Nilay Shah,Kevin C. Wang,Jeewon Kim,Hugo M. Horlings,David J. Wong,Miao-Chih Tsai,Tiffany Hung,Pedram Argani,John L. Rinn,Yulei Wang,Pius Brzoska,Benjamin Kong,Rui-Chun Li,Robert B. West,Marc J. van de Vijver,Saraswati Sukumar,Howard Y. Chang +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Demarcation of Active and Silent Chromatin Domains in Human HOX Loci by Noncoding RNAs
John L. Rinn,Michael Kertesz,Jordon K. Wang,Sharon L. Squazzo,Xiao Xu,Samantha A. Brugmann,L. Henry Goodnough,Jill A. Helms,Peggy J. Farnham,Eran Segal,Howard Y. Chang +10 more
TL;DR: The transcriptional landscape of the four human HOX loci is characterized at five base pair resolution in 11 anatomic sites and 231 HOX ncRNAs are identified that extend known transcribed regions by more than 30 kilobases, suggesting transcription of ncRNA may demarcate chromosomal domains of gene silencing at a distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Mechanisms of Long Noncoding RNAs
Kevin C. Wang,Howard Y. Chang +1 more
TL;DR: These archetypes of lncRNA function may be a useful framework to consider how lncRNAs acquire properties as biological signal transducers and hint at their possible origins in evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Regulation by Long Noncoding RNAs
John L. Rinn,Howard Y. Chang +1 more
TL;DR: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as discussed by the authors form extensive networks of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with numerous chromatin regulators and then target these enzymatic activities to appropriate locations in the genome.
