Project description:We determined the high resolution methylation maps of female mouse primary keratinocytes and compared these maps at nucleotide level with the female mouse primary dermal fibroblasts. Single nucleotide level methylation maps led us to identify several additional features of CG methylation. We have detected that differentially methylated regions are epigenetically marked in other cells including embryonic stem cells and neuronal progeniator cells. Different new charecteristics and functions were also discovered with these methylation maps. Determinationof whole genome DNA methylation profiles (BS-seq) of primary mouse keratinocytes

Project description:Whole-genome single-base resolution methylcytosine map reveals profound changes that occur after Lsh deletion during embryonic development in primary WT and Lsh-/- MEFs. Lsh deletion leads to widespread decreases of CG methylation level at uniquely mapped genomic regions compared to wild type, including TSSs at protein-coding genes, and non-coding RNA genes. MethylC-Seq from Mus musculus primary MEFs.
Project description:Using 2 male and 2 female zebrafish (pool of 6) brain samples, we generated base-resolution DNA methylation maps to document sex-specific epigenetic differences. Here we generated single-nucleotide resoultion DNA methylation map of 4 zebrafish brain samples using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS)
Project description:Primary outcome(s): The detection rates of epigenetic heterogeneity in primary tumor and plasma from colorectal cancer patients with Methylation-sensitive high resolution melt(MS-HRM).
