Function and information content of DNA methylation

TL;DR: These observations indicate that the underlying DNA sequence largely accounts for local patterns of methylation, which is highly informative when studying gene regulation in normal and diseased cells, and it can potentially function as a biomarker.

TET enzymes, TDG and the dynamics of DNA demethylation

TL;DR: Methylation, oxidation and repair now offer a model for a complete cycle of dynamic cytosine modification, with mounting evidence for its significance in the biological processes known to involve active demethylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diverse roles of DNA methylation in mammalian development and disease

TL;DR: The mechanisms and functions of DNA methylation and demethylation in both mice and humans at CpG-rich promoters, gene bodies and transposable elements are discussed and the dynamic erasure and re-establishment in embryonic, germline and somatic cell development is highlighted.

MaxQuant enables high peptide identification rates, individualized p.p.b.-range mass accuracies and proteome-wide protein quantification.

TL;DR: MaxQuant, an integrated suite of algorithms specifically developed for high-resolution, quantitative MS data, detects peaks, isotope clusters and stable amino acid isotope–labeled (SILAC) peptide pairs as three-dimensional objects in m/z, elution time and signal intensity space and achieves mass accuracy in the p.p.b. range.

Accurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei

TL;DR: A procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters, including tRNA and Ad 2 VA, is developed.

Universal sample preparation method for proteome analysis

TL;DR: A method is described, filter-aided sample preparation (FASP), which combines the advantages of in-gel and in-solution digestion for mass spectrometry–based proteomics and allows single-run analyses of organelles and an unprecedented depth of proteome coverage.

Global quantification of mammalian gene expression control

TL;DR: Using a quantitative model, the first genome-scale prediction of synthesis rates of mRNAs and proteins is obtained and it is found that the cellular abundance of proteins is predominantly controlled at the level of translation.
