Cancer-epigenetics comes of age
The discovery of numerous hypermethylated promoters of tumour–suppressor genes, along
with a better understanding of gene–silencing mechanisms, has moved DNA methylation …

The fundamental role of epigenetic events in cancer
Patterns of DNA methylation and chromatin structure are profoundly altered in neoplasia
and include genome-wide losses of, and regional gains in, DNA methylation. The recent …

Functions of DNA methylation: islands, start sites, gene bodies and beyond
PA Jones - Nature reviews genetics, 2012 - nature.com
DNA methylation is frequently described as a'silencing'epigenetic mark, and indeed this
function of 5-methylcytosine was originally proposed in the 1970s. Now, thanks to improved …

Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas
We developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a
spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1‐km spatial resolution). The climate …

Epigenetics in human disease and prospects for epigenetic therapy
Epigenetic mechanisms, which involve DNA and histone modifications, result in the
heritable silencing of genes without a change in their coding sequence. The study of human …

Replacing the complementarity-determining regions in a human antibody with those from a mouse
PT Jones, PH Dear, J Foote, MS Neuberger, G Winter - Nature, 1986 - nature.com
The variable domains of an antibody consist of a β-sheet framework with hypervariable
regions (or complementarity-determining regions—CDRs) which fashion the antigen …
