Ancient DNA from Human and Animal
Research on ancient DNA (aDNA) has the potential to enable molecular biologists and archeologists to decipher certain aspects of history by direct looking into the past. However, several major problems in this field limit the applicability of aDNA studies, most importantly contamination with modern DNA and postmortem DNA degradation. In this study we extracted and analyzed aDNA obtained from ~3...
متن کاملPredicting transcription factor binding motifs from DNA-binding domains, chromatin accessibility and gene expression data
Transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in regulating gene expression through interactions with specific DNA sequences. Recently, the sequence motif of almost 400 human TFs have been identified using high-throughput SELEX sequencing. However, there remain a large number of TFs (∼800) with no high-throughput-derived binding motifs. Computational methods capable of associating known motifs...
متن کاملMining Motifs from Human Motion
Mining frequently occurring temporal motion patterns (motion motifs) is important for understanding, organizing and retrieving motion data. However, without any a priori knowledge of the motifs, such as their lengths, contents, locations and total number, it remains a challenging problem due to the enormous computational cost involved in analyzing huge motion databases. Moreover, since the same...
متن کاملA blueprint for a Human Epigenome Project: the AACR Human Epigenome Workshop.
Epigenetic processes control the packaging and function of the human genome and contribute to normal and pathologic states, including cancer. The time is ripe to undertake an international effort to identify all the chemical changes and relationships between chromatin constituents that provide function to the genetic code. A timely workshop of leading experts, convened by the American Associati...
متن کاملEpigenome maintenance in response to DNA damage
Organism viability relies on the stable maintenance of specific chromatin landscapes, established during development, that shape cell functions and identities by driving distinct gene expression programs. Yet epigenome maintenance is challenged during transcription, replication, and repair of DNA damage, all of which elicit dynamic changes in chromatin organization. Here, we review recent advan...
