Project description:Epigenomics is developing a colon cancer screening assay based on differential methylation of specific CpG sites for the detection of early stage disease. A genome-wide methylation analysis and oligonucleotide array study using DNA from various stages of colon cancer and normal tissue have been completed to obtain candidate CpG markers. Based on results obtained in the above studies, Epigenomics has moved to the final stages of feasibility with a specific, highly sensitive real-time marker assay that is able to detect colon cancer DNA in blood plasma.
Project description:Epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of oral rinse samples from a cohort of 82 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in oral rinse samples. Bisulphite lsconverted DNA from the 82 oral rinse samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip
Project description:Gingivo-buccal oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC-GB) is the most common cancer among men in India and is associated with high mortality. Although OSCC-GB is known to be quite different from tongue cancer in its genomic presentation and its clinical behavior, it is treated identically as tongue cancer. Predictive markers of prognosis and therapy that are specific to OSCC-GB are, therefore, required. To achieve this, we have carried out epigenomic (n=87) profiling of paired tumor-normal tissues collected from OSCC-GB patients from India and genome-wide DNA methylation assays were performed. DNA was isolated using DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen). The purity and concentration was estimated using NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Approximately 500 ng genomic DNA from each sample was used for sodium bisulfite conversion using the EZ DNA methylation Gold Kit (Zymo Research, USA). Genome-wide DNA methylation was assayed using iScan (Illumina), for paired tumour and adjacent normal samples of 25 patients using the Infinium Human Methylation450 BeadChip and of 62 patients using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of OSCC tissue samples, oral lichen planus tissue samples and normal controls. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 480,000 CpGs. Samples included 15 OSCC, 8 lichen planus and 18 control samples.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and adjacent OSCC samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 4,50,000 CpGs in tissue samples. Total 21 samples were taken including 10 paired and 1 unpaired tissues. 6 were HPV Positive and 5 were HPV negative.
Project description:Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain n=113 Illumina DNA methylation array from whole blood samples. The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of subjects with a severe developmental disorder (known as syndrome X) and controls. To measure DNA methylation age, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was conducted using DNA isolated from MNKPL. The Illumina EPIC methylation Beadchip array which covers more than 850,000 CpG loci was used. Samples include 7 cases.
Project description:Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is hypothesized to involve epigenetic dysfunction. We undertook an epigenome-wide association study across three independent brain tissue cohorts (total n = 999) to identify differential DNA methylation associated with neuropathology in the superior temporal gyrus and prefrontal cortex. We present robust evidence for elevated DNA methylation associated with AD neuropathology across an extended region spanning the HOXA gene cluster on chromosome 7. Prefrontal cortex and superior temporal gyrus tissue from 147 individuals with varying levels of AD pathology. DNA modifications for these samples were quantified using the Illumina Infinium Human 450K Methylation Array.
