Mechanisms and functions of Tet protein-mediated 5-methylcytosine oxidation. Published: December, 2011 Abstract:
Ten-eleven translocation 1-3 (Tet1-3) proteins have recently been discovered in mammalian cells to be members of a family of DNA hydroxylases that possess enzymatic activity toward the methyl mark on the 5-position of cytosine (5-methylcytosine [5... Read more » Tags Antibody
DNA methylation profiles of human active and inactive X chromosomes. Published: October, 2011 Abstract:
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a dosage compensation mechanism that silences the majority of genes on one X chromosome in each female cell. To characterize epigenetic changes that accompany this process, we measured DNA methylation levels in 4... Read more » Tags Antibody
The human histone H3 complement anno 2011. Published: October, 2011 Abstract:
Histones are highly basic, relatively small proteins that complex with DNA to form higher order structures that underlie chromosome topology. Of the four core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, it is H3 that is most heavily modified at the post-transla... Read more » Tags Antibody
