Learning Deep Attribution Priors Based On Prior Knowledge
TL;DR: The deep attribution prior (DAPr) framework is proposed, which jointly learns a relationship between prior information and feature importance, as well as biases models to have explanations that rely on features predicted to be important.

The Molecular Basis of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Genetics, Epigenetics, and Nutrition in AUD: An Amazing Triangle.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors connect gathered knowledge from three emerging fields (genetics, epigenetics, and nutrition) to form an amazing triangle relating to alcohol use disorder, which is a very common and complex disease, as alcohol is the most widely used addictive drug in the world.

The central importance of nuclear mechanisms in the storage of memory.
Adam R. Gold,David L. Glanzman +1 more
TL;DR: The synaptic plasticity hypothesis of memory is supported by extensive experimental data gathered from over 50 years of research as discussed by the authors, however, there are important mnemonic phenomena that cannot be readily explained by the hypothesis.

Cell-type-specific epigenetic effects of early life stress on the brain
TL;DR: Early life stress (ELS) induces long-term phenotypic adaptations that contribute to increased vulnerability to a host of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression and schizophrenia as mentioned in this paper .

Altered methylation of specific DNA loci in the liver of Bhmt-null mice results in repression of Iqgap2 and F2rl2 and is associated with development of preneoplastic foci.
TL;DR: Altered methylation of specific DNA loci in the liver of Bhmt‐null mice results in repression of Iqgap2 and F2rl2 and is associated with development of preneoplastic foci.

DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are essential for de novo methylation and mammalian development.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two recently identified DNA methyltransferases, DnMT3a and Dnmt3b, are essential for de novo methylation and for mouse development and play important roles in normal development and disease.

Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior.
Ian C. G. Weaver,Nadia Cervoni,Frances A. Champagne,Ana C. D'Alessio,Shakti Sharma,Jonathan R. Seckl,Sergiy Dymov,Moshe Szyf,Michael J. Meaney +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an epigenomic state of a gene can be established through behavioral programming, and it is potentially reversible, suggesting a causal relation among epigenomicState, GR expression and the maternal effect on stress responses in the offspring.

TL;DR: It is shown here that TET1, a fusion partner of the MLL gene in acute myeloid leukemia, is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)- and Fe(II)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes conversion of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) in cultured cells and in vitro.

TL;DR: This study reports the first disease-causing mutations in RTT and points to abnormal epigenetic regulation as the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of RTT.

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.
