Background
Peripheral blood leukocyte DNA methylation status has been proposed to be a surrogate marker for evaluating susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC). Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection, smoking, and alcohol consumption are known to induce gene methylation. A case‐control study was performed to investigate the interactions between the methylation of two candidate genes and H pylori infection,...
Paeonia suffruticosa ‘Shima Nishiki’ is a very valuable bicolor cultivar because of its distinctive and colorful flowers. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying bicolor petal formation is limited. In this study, we used the methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) method to assess the levels and pattern of cytosine methylation in different-colored petals during floral development...
The model describing that aberrant CpG island (CGI) methylation leads to repression of tumour suppressor genes in cancers has been influential, but it remains unclear how such aberrancy is induced. Recent studies provided clues indicating that promoter hypermethylation in cancers might be associated with PRC target genes. Here, we used ChIP-BS-seq to examine methylation of the DNA fragments precipitated...
There are numerous approaches to decipher a whole genome DNA methylation profile (“methylome”), each varying in cost, throughput and resolution. The gold standard of these methods, whole genome bisulfite-sequencing (BS-seq), involves treatment of DNA with sodium bisulfite combined with subsequent high throughput sequencing. Using BS-seq, we generated a single-base-resolution methylome in human peripheral...
