Epigenomics

 

"Epi">>reversible

 

definition : modifications on  DNA /histones

  • alter the DNA sequence

 

  • Tumorigenesis : cancer --> expression / regulation change

 

feature

  • regulate gene expression : turn on / off 
  • not part of a DNA sequence , but in some cases , they can be inherited to offspring
  • In general, methylation turn off the gene expression while acetylation turn on the gene expression

 

histone modification

  • DNA methylation
    • DNA methylase (DMNT)
    • effect
      • imprinting : transfer certain environmental factor
      • X-chromosome inactivation
      • Heterochromatin maintenance
      • Developmental controls
      • Tissue specific expression controls
    • How to sequence methylation?
      • Biosulfite treatment of cytosine : cytosine --> uracil ( 5-methylcytosine residues is unaffected)
  • DNA acetylation
  • DNA phosphorylation
  • DNA ubiquitination
  • SUMOylation
  • ADP-ribosylation
  • deamination

 

How to detect histone modification?

  • Chip-Chip : chromatin immunoprecipitation with DNA microarrays
    • immunoprecipitation : specific antibodies are used to immunoprecipitate the DNA-histone complexes
    • visualization : purify immunoprecipitation --> amplification --> labeled with fluorescent tag
