Gradually Varied Surfaces and Gradually Varied Functions
The gradually varied surface was introduced and studied in digital and discrete spaces by Chen. The basic idea of introducing gradually varied surfaces is to employ a purely discrete interpolation algorithm to fit a discrete surface when the desired surface is not required to be “smooth.” In this paper, we generalize the concept of gradually varied surfaces. A digital surface is defined as a ma...
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 کاملExploring the cancer methylome
Cancer develops not only as a result of genetic mutations and genomic rearrangements, but also as a consequence of numerous epigenetic alterations, including extensive changes in the distribution of DNA methylation throughout the genome. DNA methylation changes contribute directly to cancer by transcriptional silencing of tumorsuppressor genes through promoter CpG island hypermethylation. Broad...
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...
متن کاملMining methylome databases.
Teaser: As methylomics technologies progress, the internet provides a dynamic and under-used resource to distribute epigenetic data to scientists and clinicians. Following publication of the DNA ‘hardware’ in the Human Genome Project in 2003, large-scale efforts have begun to elucidate the epigenomic ‘software’, held to underpin eukaryotic complexity. As the technology to catalog epigenetics ad...
