We show there is minimal genome-wide chromatin rearrangements (as measured by DNA accessibility) during tissue differentiation in C. elegans transgenic expression of E. coli DAM (DNA Adenine Methyltransferase) from tissue-specific promoters followed by mapping of methylated sites using a procedure t...

We have characterized two post-translational histone modifications in C. elegans on a genomic scale. Micrococcal nuclease digestion and immunoprecipitation were used to obtain distinct populations of single nucleosome cores, which were analyzed using massively parallel DNA sequencing to obtain pos...

Piwi-interacting (pi) RNAs are a class of germline-expressed small RNAs that have been linked to epigenetic programming in metazoa. C. elegans piRNAs known as 21U-RNAs are defined by more than 15,000 genome-encoded species. To explore the origin of 21U-RNAs we employed methods to enrich the 5' ends ...

The microalga Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169 possesses some features that may be valuable for lipid production, and, as demonstrated in this study, can be greatly induced to produce a high amount of fatty acid by CO2 supplementation. Here we have compared the transcriptome of air group (AG, cells cu...

Organisms exhibit a fascinating array of gene-silencing pathways, which have evolved in part, to confront invasive nucleic acids such as transposons and viruses. A key question raised by the existence of these pathways is how do they distinguish M-bM-^@M-^\selfM-bM-^@M-^] from M-bM-^@M-^\non-selfM-b...

C/EBPβ (CCAAT enhancer binding protein) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in survival and transformation of ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The aim of this study was to identify the downstream targets of C/EBPβ responsible for ALK-mediated oncogenesis. C/EBPβ was knocke...

Exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been shown to exert homology-dependent effects at the level of both target mRNA stability and chromatin structure. Using C. elegans undergoing RNAi as an animal model, we have investigated the generality, scope, and longevity of chromatin-targeted dsRNA effe...

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are a class of regulatory effectors that enforce gene silencing though formation of RNA duplexes. While progress has been made in identifying the capabilities of siRNAs in silencing of foreign RNA and transposable elements, siRNA functions in endogenous gene regulatio...

In mammalian cells, DNA methylation on the 5th position of cytosine (5mC) plays an important role as an epigenetic mark. However, DNA methylation was considered to be absent in C. elegans because of the lack of detectable 5mC as well as homologs of the cytosine DNA methyltransferases. Here, using mu...
