Integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes

Anshul Kundaje, +123 more
- 19 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human DNA methylomes at base resolution show widespread epigenomic differences

TL;DR: The first genome-wide, single-base-resolution maps of methylated cytosines in a mammalian genome, from both human embryonic stem cells and fetal fibroblasts, along with comparative analysis of messenger RNA and small RNA components of the transcriptome, several histone modifications, and sites of DNA-protein interaction for several key regulatory factors were presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly Integrated Single-Base Resolution Maps of the Epigenome in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Deep sequencing of smRNAs revealed a direct relationship between the location of sm RNAs and DNA methylation, perturbation of smRNA biogenesis upon loss of CpG DNA methylisation, and a tendency for smRN as to direct strand-specific DNA methylations in regions of RNA-DNA homology.
Journal ArticleDOI

CTR1, a negative regulator of the ethylene response pathway in Arabidopsis, encodes a member of the raf family of protein kinases

TL;DR: A recessive Arabidopsis mutant, ctr1, that constitutively exhibits seedling and adult phenotypes observed in plants treated with the plant hormone ethylene is isolated and the DNA sequences of four mutant alleles were determined.
