A human B cell methylome at 100-base pair resolution.
Using a methylated-DNA enrichment technique (methylated CpG island recovery assay, MIRA) in combination with whole-genome tiling arrays, we have characterized by MIRA-chip the entire B cell "methylome" of an individual human at 100-bp resolution. We find that at the chromosome level high CpG methylation density is correlated with subtelomeric regions and Giemsa-light bands (R bands). The majori...
متن کاملEpigenome characterization at single base-pair resolution.
We have combined standard micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion of nuclei with a modified protocol for constructing paired-end DNA sequencing libraries to map both nucleosomes and subnucleosome-sized particles at single base-pair resolution throughout the budding yeast genome. We found that partially unwrapped nucleosomes and subnucleosome-sized particles can occupy the same position within a ...
متن کاملThe First High-Resolution DNA “Methylome”
Cytosine methylation plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and the control of genome stability in higher eukaryotes. Despite its importance for normal development, the degree and genome-wide distribution of DNA methylation has remained largely unknown. In this issue of Cell, fill this gap by presenting a high-resolution map of DNA methylation in the genome of the flowering p...
متن کاملThe human placental methylome.
This review provides an overview of the unique features of DNA methylation in the human placenta. We discuss the importance of understanding placental development, structure, and function in the interpretation of DNA methylation data. Examples are given of how DNA methylation is important in regulating placental-specific gene expression, including monoallelic expression and X-chromosome inactiv...
متن کاملThe human placenta methylome.
Tissue-specific DNA methylation is found at promoters, enhancers, and CpG islands but also over larger genomic regions. In most human tissues, the vast majority of the genome is highly methylated (>70%). Recently, sequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA (MethylC-seq) has revealed large partially methylated domains (PMDs) in some human cell lines. PMDs cover up to 40% of the genome and are associate...
