Webinar: Defining Chromatin State by Characterization of Chromatin Regulators
Chromatin Regulators (CRs) control chromatin structure, yet the rules governing these processes remain obscure. This presentation will detail a systematic approach to infer the function of CRs by … [Read More...]
Conference Trends: Nutrition in Epigenetics
Conferences provide an up-to-the-minute look at what’s going on inside epigenetics labs all over the world. By tuning into our conference coverage, we’ve tagged diet and nutrition as an important … [Read More...]
Nanofluidic Sorting and Analyzing of Single Methylated DNA Molecules in Real Time
Getting kids to line up single-file can be a challenge, but lining up single molecules for analyses can be just as frustrating. Now, researchers at Cornell report that they’ve done just that—they … [Read More...]
HPV Integration Brings Cancerous Changes to the DNA Methylome
Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) can protect against many forms of the virus, which can cause cervical cancer. But not everyone gets vaccinated, and there’s still a risk of becoming … [Read More...]
Pregnancy-linked miRNA Cluster in Exosomes May Spark Adenomas
We’ve all had things come back and haunt us—like our high school yearbook picture (the horror!). Now, researchers in Germany say they hypothesize that the same thing could happen with a chromosome … [Read More...]
Virtual Poster Presentation: Comprehensive DNA Methylation Profiling of 3.7 million CpGs with the SureSelect Target Enrichment System
What new technique reveals more information than methylation microarrays by detecting individual CpGs, increases throughput with reduced costs compared to Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing and reveals … [Read More...]
oxBS-Seq Breaks Through 5hmC Sequencing Barrier
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) has always been a bear to sequence, mostly because it’s virtually indistinguishable from its close relative, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) using classic bisulfite sequencing … [Read More...]
Single Molecule Epigenetic Analysis with Dr. Paul Soloway
Dr. Paul Soloway discusses the limitations with some of the main methods used in epigenetics research and shares a glimpse into what the next generation of tools will look like. This interview took … [Read More...]

Variable Methylation Regions and Missing Heritability with Dr. Andrew Feinberg
Dr. Andrew Feinberg discusses how epigenetics might be related to missing heritability of disease via variable methylation regions. This interview was shot on campus at Johns Hopkins … [Read More...]
DNA Methylation qPCR Panels Keep Stem Cells in Check
Every day, in labs all over the world, stem cells are changing. Sure they may lack (lineage) commitment, but these ultra-promising cellular blank canvases aren’t living sedentary epigenetic … [Read More...]
Sequencing DNA Methylation Past, Present, Future with Dr. Wolf Reik
Dr. Wolf Reik discusses the challenges in DNA methylation sequencing and the next big swings in epigenetic modification sequencing and discovery. This interview took place at the Keystone Symposia's … [Read More...]
Tackling the Dimensions of Chromatin via 3C with Dr. Job Dekker
Dr. Job Dekker discusses trends that he sees in chromatin structural studies, Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C), and bringing a multidisciplinary approach into the lab to better understand … [Read More...]
Epigenetics Before Sequencing with Dr. Steven Henikoff
Dr. Steven Henikoff discusses interesting observations like chromosome puffs in polytene chromosomes back in the days before sequencing. This interview took place at the Keystone Symposia's … [Read More...]
ChIP Enrichment Gets Solid (Phase)
The application of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in epigenetics research is expanding constantly. Lately it seems that every last aspect of the ChIP process from antibody validation and DNA … [Read More...]

Active Motif MeDIP-Seq Services Will Put You On the Right MethylPath™
Let’s say you want to get the ball rolling for studies on a new disease. You know you want to search for any important changes in methylation patterns; but with a whole genome worth of ground to … [Read More...]
ChIP & Bisulfite-Seq Cut Through Chromatin, DNA Methylation Chatter
There are two sides to every story. Maybe even more if you ask a lawyer. So it only makes sense that two epigenetic mechanisms like chromatin and DNA methylation would each have something to say about … [Read More...]
Webinar: Global and Locus-Specific 5-hmC Detection
New England Biolabs is hosting a free webinar titled: Global and locus specific 5-hydroxymethylcytosine detection and quantification Tues. March, 27th 2012 at 9am PDT It will discuss simple and … [Read More...]
