Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution, silencing potential and evolutionary impact of promoter DNA methylation in the human genome.

TL;DR: Results show that promoter sequence and gene function are major predictors of promoter methylation states and that inactive unmethylated CpG island promoters show elevated levels of dimethylation of Lys4 of histone H3, suggesting that this chromatin mark may protect DNA from methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lineage-specific polycomb targets and de novo DNA methylation define restriction and potential of neuronal progenitors

TL;DR: A model how de novo DNA methylation and dynamic switches in Polycomb targets restrict pluripotency and define the developmental potential of progenitor cells is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

GeneCards: a novel functional genomics compendium with automated data mining and query reformulation support.

TL;DR: A model for a new type of topic-specific overview resource that provides efficient access to distributed information is developed, which is a freely accessible Web resource that offers one hypertext 'card' for each of the more than 7000 human genes that have an approved gene symbol published by the HUGO/GDB nomenclature committee.
