Indication of family-specific DNA methylation patterns in developing oysters
The roles of DNA methylation during invertebrate development remain enigmatic, especially regarding the inheritance and ontogenetic dynamics of methylation. Here, we characterized the genome-wide methylome of Crassostrea gigas sperm and larvae from two full-sib families nested within a maternal half-sib family across several developmental stages. Our data suggest that DNA methylation patterns a...
متن کاملAnalysis of DNA Methylation in a Three-Generation Family Reveals Widespread Genetic Influence on Epigenetic Regulation
The methylation of cytosines in CpG dinucleotides is essential for cellular differentiation and the progression of many cancers, and it plays an important role in gametic imprinting. To assess variation and inheritance of genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation simultaneously in humans, we applied reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to somatic DNA from six members of a three-gene...
متن کاملEpigenetic analysis of sporadic and Lynch-associated ovarian cancers reveals histology-specific patterns of DNA methylation
Diagnosis and treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer is challenging due to the poor understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. Our aim was to investigate epigenetic mechanisms in ovarian tumorigenesis and, especially, whether tumors with different histological subtypes or hereditary background (Lynch syndrome) exhibit differential susceptibility to epigenetic inactivation of growth regul...
متن کاملSystemic analysis of osteoblast-specific DNA methylation marks reveals novel epigenetic basis of osteoblast differentiation
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that contributes to the lineage commitment and specific functions of different cell types. In this study, we compared ENCODE-generated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of human osteoblast with 21 other types of human cells in order to identify osteoblast-specific methylation events. For most of the cell strains, data from two isogenic ...
متن کاملMSRE-PCR for analysis of gene-specific DNA methylation
Abnormal DNA methylation is observed in certain promoters of neoplastic cells, although the likelihood of methylation for each individual promoter varies. Simultaneous analysis of many promoters in the same sample can allow use of statistical methods for identification of neoplasia. Here we describe an assay for such analysis, based on digestion of genomic DNA with methylation-sensitive restric...
