Genome-wide profiling of DNA methylation and gene expression in Crassostrea gigas male gametes
DNA methylation patterns and functions are variable across invertebrate taxa. In order to provide a better understanding of DNA methylation in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), we characterized the genome-wide DNA methylation profile in male gamete cells using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. RNA-Seq analysis was performed to examine the relationship between DNA methylation and transcri...
متن کاملGenome-wide profiling of DNA methylation and gene expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that DNA methylation involved in the development of ESCC. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the regulation and maintenance of the methylome as well as their relationship with ESCC remain poorly understood. Herein, we used methylated DNA immunoprecipitation s...
متن کاملGenome-wide profiling of DNA methylation in human cancer cells.
Global changes in DNA methylation correlate with altered gene expression and genomic instability in cancer. We have developed a methylation-specific digital sequencing (MSDS) method that can assess DNA methylation on a genomic scale. MSDS is a simple, low-cost method that combines the use of methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes with second generation sequencing technology. DNA methylation ...
متن کاملThe association between DNA methylation and exon expression in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
BACKGROUND DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications of eukaryotic genomes and is believed to play integral roles in diverse biological processes. Although DNA methylation has been well studied in mammals, data are limited in invertebrates, particularly Mollusca. The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is an emerging genetic model for functional analysis of DNA methylat...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of genetically determined growth variation in bivalve larvae (Crassostrea gigas).
Growth rates in animals are governed by a wide range of biological factors, many of which remain poorly understood. To identify the genes that establish growth differences in bivalve larvae, we compared expression patterns in contrasting phenotypes (slow- and fast-growth) that were experimentally produced by genetic crosses of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Based on transcriptomic profil...
