MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous noncoding small RNAs with important roles in many biological pathways; their generation and activity are under precise regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNA pathways are precisely modulated with controls at the level of transcription, processing, and sta...

We report global distribution of trimethylated Histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3) in human prefrontal cortex neurons at different ages Neuronal nuclei from human prefrontal cortex were isolated by FACS. Regions marked by H3K4me3 were identified by chromatin immunoprecipiation followed by deep sequencing.

In flies, small silencing RNAs are sorted between Argonaute1 (Ago1), the central protein component of the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and Argonaute2 (Ago2), which mediates RNA interference. Extensive double-stranded characterM-bM-^@M-^Tas is found in small interfering RNAs (siRNAs)M-bM-^@M-^Tdirects d...

Drosophila Dicer-1 produces microRNAs (miRNAs) from pre-miRNA, whereas Dicer-2 generates small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from long dsRNA. loquacious (loqs) encodes three Dicer partner proteins, Loqs-PA, Loqs-PB, and, Loqs-PD, generated by alternative splicing. To understand the function of each Loqs...

We utilized a bacterial selection system to isolate Engrailed variants from a randomized library that are compatible with each of the 64 possible 3’ triplet sites (i.e. TAANNN). The DNA-binding specificity of 151 representative HD variants from these populations was subsequently characterized. Ma...

Mapping DNaseI hypersensitive (HS) sites is an accurate method of identifying the location of genetic regulatory elements, including promoters, enhancers, silencers, insulators, and locus control regions. We employed whole genome tiled array strategies to identify DNaseI HS sites within human prima...

The Tip60 (also known as Kat5) lysine acetyltransferase functions broadly as a transcriptional co-activator that acetylates histones. In contrast, Tip60 functions in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) both to silence genes that promote differentiation and to activate genes required for proliferation. The m...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder resulting from expansion in the number of CAG repeats in the coding region of exon 1 of the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. One of the most widely studied chromatin modifications is trimethylated lysine 4 of histone 3 (H3K4me3). ...

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) direct RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. In flies, somatic cells produce siRNAs from exogenous double-stranded RNA as a defense against viral infection. Here, we identify 21-nt long, endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs) corresponding to transposons and heterochromatic...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster 
Epigenetic information can be inherited through the mammalian germline, and represents a plausible transgenerational carrier of environmental information. To test whether transgenerational inheritance of environmental information occurs in mammals, we carried out an expression profiling screen for g...
