Genome-wide prediction and analysis of human chromatin boundary elements
Boundary elements partition eukaryotic chromatin into active and repressive domains, and can also block regulatory interactions between domains. Boundary elements act via diverse mechanisms making accurate feature-based computational predictions difficult. Therefore, we developed an unbiased algorithm that predicts the locations of human boundary elements based on the genomic distributions of c...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Analysis of Natural Selection on Human Cis-Elements
BACKGROUND It has been speculated that the polymorphisms in the non-coding portion of the human genome underlie much of the phenotypic variability among humans and between humans and other primates. If so, these genomic regions may be undergoing rapid evolutionary change, due in part to natural selection. However, the non-coding region is a heterogeneous mix of functional and non-functional reg...
متن کاملPrediction of genome-wide DNA methylation in repetitive elements
DNA methylation in repetitive elements (RE) suppresses their mobility and maintains genomic stability, and decreases in it are frequently observed in tumor and/or surrogate tissues. Averaging methylation across RE in genome is widely used to quantify global methylation. However, methylation may vary in specific RE and play diverse roles in disease development, thus averaging methylation across ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Computational Prediction and Analysis of Core Promoter Elements across Plant Monocots and Dicots
Transcription initiation, essential to gene expression regulation, involves recruitment of basal transcription factors to the core promoter elements (CPEs). The distribution of currently known CPEs across plant genomes is largely unknown. This is the first large scale genome-wide report on the computational prediction of CPEs across eight plant genomes to help better understand the transcriptio...
متن کاملA genome-wide analysis of open chromatin in human tracheal epithelial cells reveals novel candidate regulatory elements for lung function.
BACKGROUND Distal cell-type-specific regulatory elements may be located at very large distances from the genes that they control and are often hidden within intergenic regions or in introns of other genes. The development of methods that enable mapping of regions of open chromatin genome wide has greatly advanced the identification and characterisation of these elements. METHODS Here we use D...
