Abstract

Genome-wide epigenetic changes, such as histone modifications, form a critical layer of gene regulations and have been implicated in a number of different disorders such as cancer and inflammation. Progress has been made to decrease the input required by gold-standard genome-wide profiling tools like chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (i.e., ChIP-seq) to allow scarce primary tissues of a specific type from patients and lab animals to be tested. However, there has been practically no effort to rapidly increase the throughput of these low-input tools. In this report, we demonstrate LIFE-ChIP-seq (low-input fluidized-bed enabled chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing), an automated and high-throughput microfluidic platform capable of running multiple sets of ChIP assays on multiple histone marks in as little as 1 h with as few as 50 cells per assay. Our technology will enable testing of a large number of samples and replicates with low-abundance primary samples in the context of precision medicine.

Cancer Epigenetics & Metabolism (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may or may not provide advantages for the cancer cells. This feed focuses on the relationship between cell metabolism, epigenetics and tumor differentiation.

Cancer Sequencing

Several sequencing approaches are employed to understand and examine tumor development and progression. These include whole genome as well as RNA sequencing. Here is the latest research on cancer sequencing.

Cancer Epigenetics and Senescence (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may be involved in regulating senescence in cancer cells. This feed captures the latest research on cancer epigenetics and senescence.
