Epigenetic control of gene transcription is critical for normal human development and cellular differentiation. While alterations of epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation have been linked to cancers and many other human diseases, interindividual epigenetic variation in normal tissues due to aging...

Understanding cell-type-specific epigenetic codes on a global level is a major challenge after the sequencing of the human genome has been completed. Here we applied methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp) to obtain comparative methylation profiles of coding and noncoding genes in three human tissues,...

Here, we demonstrate that Nematostella vectensis, Ciona intestinalis, Apis mellifera, and B. mori, show two distinct populations of genes differentiated by gene-body CpG density. Genome-scale DNA methylation profiles for A. mellifera spermatozoa reveal CpG-poor genes are methylated in the germ line,...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
In this study we used a high-throughput method for assaying methylation of CpG sites simultaneously in a single sample for identifying differences in methylation observed in tissues ranging from normal liver to pre-neoplastic (cirrhosis) and neoplastic (HCC) states. Since there are important clinica...

To globally define methylation-’prone’ and -’protected’ CpG islands in leukemia, we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in two acute leukemia cell lines as well as normal blood monocytes using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp...

Pathologic differentiation of tissue of origin in tumors found in the lung can be challenging, with differentiation of mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma emblematic of this problem. Indeed, proper classification is essential for determination of treatment regimen for these diseases, making accurat...

To globally define methylation-’prone’ and -’protected’ CpG islands in leukemia, we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in eight acute leukemia samples as well as normal blood monocytes using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp)...

To globally define methylation-’prone’ and -’protected’ CpG islands in colorectal carcinoma we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in ten coleorectal carcinoma samples as well as normal colon using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation ...

We report a method for specific capture of an arbitrary subset of genomic targets for single molecule bisulfite sequencing, and for digital quantitation of DNA methylation at a single nucleotide resolution. We used targeted bisulfite sequencing to characterize the changes of DNA methylation during t...

We report that full length TET1 (TET1-FL) overexpression fails to induce global DNA demethylation in HEK293T cells. The preferential binding of TET1-FL to hypomethylated CpG islands (CGIs) through its CXXC domain leads to its inhibited 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) production as methylation level i...
