1. Jack of all trades, master of none : the multifaceted nature of H3K36 methylation
Sammanfattning : Post-translational modifications of histones enable differential transcriptional control of the genome between cell types and developmental stages, and in response to environmental factors. The methylation of Histone 3 Lysine 36 (H3K36) is one the most complex and well-studied histone modifications and is known to be involved in a wide range of molecular processes. LÄS MER
2. Methyltransferase Ash1, histone methylation and their impact on Polycomb repression
Sammanfattning : Antagonistic interactions between Polycomb Group (PcG) and Trithorax Group (TrxG) proteins orchestrate the expression of key developmental genes. Distinct maternally loaded repressors establish the silenced state of these genes in cells where they should not be expressed and later PcG proteins sense whether a target gene is inactive and maintain the repression throughout multiple cell divisions.

3. The Impact of Tryptase and Epigenetic Mechanisms on Mast Cells
Sammanfattning : Mast cells have a large influence on multiple immune-mediated responses, including allergic conditions, and they have been implicated in various diseases such as arthritis and cancer. Mastocytosis is characterized by abnormal mast cell proliferation induced by mutations in KIT, the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor. LÄS MER
4. Chromatin and transcriptome-based integrative approaches to profile functional long noncoding RNAs - A computational approach
Sammanfattning : One of the major hallmarks of cancer is aberrant or uncontrollable cell division, which occurs due to a defective cell cycle process. During the synthesis phase (S-phase) of the cell cycle, before cell division or mitosis phase, the DNA in the cell makes a new copy to pass on genetic information to the daughter cells. LÄS MER
5. Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Transcription in Hematopoietic Tumors
Sammanfattning : Epigenetic modifications were shown to play an essential role in tumorigenesis. Epigenetic mechanisms can alter transcription in several ways, through DNA methylation and/or through histone modification. DNA methylation at the TSS (transcriptional start site) has been implicated in tumor development and gene silencing. LÄS MER
