Detecting DNA Methylation Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the methylated and non-methylated guanine structure with the assistance of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleic acid amplification-integrated single-molecule fluorescence imaging for in vitro and in vivo biosensing.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the advances in the development of fluorescent biosensors by integrating single-molecule fluorescence imaging with nucleic acid amplification based on enzyme assisted and enzyme-free strategies is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Static magnetic field induced epigenetic changes in wheat callus

TL;DR: Results suggested that low intensity static magnetic field-induced DNA damage and methylation in wheat calli may trigger genomic instability and DNA methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabidiol prevents disruptions in sensorimotor gating induced by psychotomimetic drugs that last for 24-h with probable involvement of epigenetic changes in the ventral striatum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a single injection of CBD or clozapine followed by AMPH or MK-801 on PPI and global DNA methylation changes in the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex (PFC) were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetics, DNA damage, and aging

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors focus on age-related epigenetic changes and their interactions with agerelated genomic changes that instigate these events, and show that the genomic instability caused by these mechanisms allows transposon element reactivation and remobilization, further mutations, gene dysregulation, and cytoplasmic chromatin fragments.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of 5-Methylcytosine to 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Mammalian DNA by MLL Partner TET1

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in X-linked MECP2, encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2.

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.
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.
