Computational epigenetics
Epigenetic research aims to understand heritable gene regulation that is not directly encoded in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications modulate the packaging of the DNA in the nucleus and thereby influence gene expression. Patterns of epigenetic information are faithfully propagated over multiple cell divisions, which makes epigenetic regulati...

متن کاملComputational Epigenetics: the new scientific paradigm
Epigenetics has recently emerged as a critical field for studying how non-gene factors can influence the traits and functions of an organism. At the core of this new wave of research is the use of computational tools that play critical roles not only in directing the selection of key experiments, but also in formulating new testable hypotheses through detailed analysis of complex genomic inform...
متن کاملEpigenetics
By the time the reader reaches Chapter 20, which focuses specifically on cancer, the mechanisms and symptoms of cancer are relatively easy to understand. Chapter 20 covers topics such as the cellular phenotypes of cancer, genes linked to cancer, and cancer treatment. While the primary literature citations at the end of the chapter will provide good starting points for the curious student, a mor...
متن کاملEpigenetics
In this issue we focus on the topic of Epigenetics, the study of heritable phenotypic traits not encoded by the genetic sequence. While every cell in your body has a copy of your genetic code in the form of DNA, many of the unique features between different cell types and between different individuals arise from unique patterns of gene expression. In recent decades, it has become increasingly c...
