Sex-specific hippocampal 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is disrupted in response to acute stress.

TLDR
Together, the alterations in 5hmC presented here provide a possible molecular mechanism for the adaptive sex-specific response to stress that may augment the design of novel therapeutic agents that will have optimal effectiveness in each sex.

Sex differences: Transcriptional signatures of stress exposure in male and female brains.

TL;DR: An overview of transcriptional studies designed to understand how sex influences stress‐specific transcriptomic changes in rodent models, as well as human psychiatric patients, highlighting the use of different methodological techniques is given.

Differentially Methylated Genes in Saliva are linked to Childhood Stress

TL;DR: A possible neuromolecular mechanism linking children’s social experiences with risk for anxiety and depressive disorders is indicated, suggesting that DNA methylation may regulate gene expression by mediating transcription factor binding on these genes.

Discovery and replication of a peripheral tissue DNA methylation biosignature to augment a suicide prediction model

TL;DR: A DNA methylation biosignature is derived that interacts with SKA2 methylation to improve the prediction of suicidal ideation in the existing suicide prediction model across both blood and saliva data sets and may represent a biological state of immune and HPA axis modulation that mediates suicidal behavior.

DNA Methylation signatures in panic disorder

TL;DR: The results point to possible sex-specific methylation changes in the HECA gene for PD but overall highlight that this disorder is not associated with extensive changes in DNA methylation in peripheral blood.

Epigenetics and meditation.

TL;DR: Future research questions and perspectives at the crossroads of contemplative sciences and epigenetics are analyzed in order to assess the clinical implications of these molecular outcomes and their potential long-lasting epigenetic bases.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2

TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.

clusterProfiler: an R Package for Comparing Biological Themes Among Gene Clusters

TL;DR: An R package, clusterProfiler that automates the process of biological-term classification and the enrichment analysis of gene clusters and can be easily extended to other species and ontologies is presented.

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.

Epigenetic regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor in human brain associates with childhood abuse

TL;DR: Findings translate previous results from rat to humans and suggest a common effect of parental care on the epigenetic regulation of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor expression.

Software for computing and annotating genomic ranges.

TL;DR: This work describes Bioconductor infrastructure for representing and computing on annotated genomic ranges and integrating genomic data with the statistical computing features of R and its extensions, including those for sequence analysis, differential expression analysis and visualization.
