Abstract

DNA methylation, and specifically the reversible addition of methyl groups at CpG dinucleotides genome-wide, represents an important layer that is associated with the regulation of gene expression. In particular, aberrations in the methylation status have been noted across a diverse set...read more

DNA Methylation

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation, and dysregulation of DNA methylation has been associated with tumorigenesis. Discover the latest research on DNA methylation here.

DNA Methylation and Cancer (Keystone)

DNA methylation in cancer plays a variety of roles, helping to change the healthy regulation of gene expression to a disease pattern. Discover the latest research on DNA methylation and cancer by following this feed.

Epigenetics (Preprints)

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alteration of the DNA sequence. Here are the latest preprints in epigenetics.

BioRxiv Preprints

BioRxiv is the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Here are the latest biology preprint articles from bioRxiv.

CpG Sites

CpG sites are genomic loci where cytosine is followed by a guanine along its 5’ to 3’ direction. CpG sites are common in CpG islands and its methylation has been implicated in cancer, aging, and gene silencing. Here is the latest research.

DNA Methylation (Keystone)

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation, and dysregulation of DNA methylation has been associated with tumorigenesis. Discover the latest research on DNA methylation here.

Human Tumor Atlas (Preprints)

The Human Tumor Atlas is a collaborative project that uses detailed maps of a variety of cancers to investigate cancer development, metastasis, and treatments. Discover the latest preprints from the Human Tumor Atlas here.

Cancer Genomics (Preprints)

Cancer genomics employ high-throughput technologies to identify the complete catalog of somatic alterations that characterize the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of cohorts of tumor samples. Discover the latest preprints here.
