Journal ArticleDOI

Base-Resolution Analysis of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in the Mammalian Genome

TL;DR: Application of Tet-assisted bisulfite sequencing to embryonic stem cells not only confirms widespread distribution of 5hmC in the mammalian genome but also reveals sequence bias and strand asymmetry at5hmC sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective chemical labeling reveals the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine

TL;DR: This method uses the T4 bacteriophage β-glucosyltransferase to transfer an engineered glucose moiety containing an azide group onto the hydroxyl group of 5-hmC, a recently identified epigenetic modification present in substantial amounts in certain mammalian cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

5-hmC–mediated epigenetic dynamics during postnatal neurodevelopment and aging

TL;DR: The mapped 5-hmC genome-wide in mouse hippocampus and cerebellum at three different ages allowed us to assess its stability and dynamic regulation during postnatal neurodevelopment through adulthood, and found developmentally programmed acquisition of 5-HMC in neuronal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross talk between microRNA and epigenetic regulation in adult neurogenesis.

TL;DR: The microRNA miR-137 represses expression of Ezh2, a histone methyltransferase, which in turn alters the epigenetic architecture of chromatin that is important for regulation of miR -137 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA miR-137 regulates neuronal maturation by targeting ubiquitin ligase Mind Bomb-1

TL;DR: A novel miRNA‐mediated mechanism involving miR‐137 and Mib1 that function to regulate neuronal maturation and dendritic morphogenesis during development is demonstrated.
