Epigenetic Regulation01:37

Epigenetic Regulation

3.5K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

46.0K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Genomics

35.6K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

16.9K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Epigenetic modifications regulate gene expression, impacting crucial biological processes like cell differentiation, development, and tumorigenesis.
  • Existing databases catalog epigenetic data (DNA methylation, histone modifications) but lack integration with gene expression profiles.
  • This gap limits comprehensive analysis of epigenetic and transcriptomic alterations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel database, EPITRANS, that integrates epigenetic modification data with gene expression information.
  • To provide a platform for visualizing the relationships between epigenetic changes and gene expression.
  • To facilitate the identification of cell function-related epigenetic and transcriptomic alterations.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of the EPITRANS database.
  • Combined analysis of epigenetic modification data (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modifications) and gene expression data.
  • Web-based visualization of integrated epigenetic and transcriptomic information.

Main Results:

  • EPITRANS successfully integrates genome-wide epigenetic modification profiles with gene expression data.
  • The database enables the visualization of correlations between epigenetic status and gene expression levels.
  • Researchers can now search for and identify specific epigenetic and transcriptomic alterations linked to cell functions.

Conclusions:

  • EPITRANS overcomes the limitation of fragmented epigenetic and gene expression data.
  • The integrated approach facilitates a deeper understanding of how epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and biological processes.
  • EPITRANS serves as a valuable resource for studying cell function-related alterations in epigenetics and transcriptomics.
