Bis(2-ethylhexyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrabromophthalate Affects Lipid Metabolism in Zebrafish Larvae via DNA Methylation Modification.

TL;DR: The overall results suggest that both TBPH and TBMEHP affect methylation of the PPARγ promoter, subsequently influencing larvae lipid metabolism via the PParγ signaling pathway and disrupting energy homeostasis.

Blood-based DNA Methylation Biomarkers for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: Current knowledge on DNA methylation as potential blood-based biomarkers for early detection of CRC is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic modifications in prostate cancer.

TL;DR: An overview of epigenetic alterations in the development and progression of prostate cancer, focusing on deoxyribonucleic acid methylation and histone modifications is provided, and inhibitors targeting these epigenomic aberrations might be novel therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling gene regulatory networks using neural network architectures

TL;DR: DeepSEM as discussed by the authors is a deep generative model that can jointly infer gene regulatory networks and biologically meaningful representation of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, which can provide a useful and powerful tool to analyze scRNAseq data and infer a GRN.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
