Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #epigenomics22, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Another talk about long reads: Duncan Sproul on Genome-wide analysis of single-molecule DNA methylation

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics #nanopore #nucleosome #DNMT

  2. Last day: Ariel Gershman from Johns Hopkins reminding us that hg38 is still far from a "finished" assembly of the human genome, which has implication for epigenetics, too

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics #T2T #nanopore

  3. Elad Segev: Discontinuities aging: finding switch points in DNA methylation

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  4. Andrew Teschendorff on "Cell-type deconvolution of solid tissue DNA methylomes at cell-type resolution" - this one is quite close to my heart, as we're working on similar stuff 😉

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  5. Martin Hirst - EpiATLAS, a reference for epigenetic research

    Useful resource: IHEC - the International Human Epigenome Consortium

  6. CW: conference live toot epigenomics

    B-cell involvement in MS: EBV latent in MS B-Cells, alterations to the epigenome (predominant hypomethylation) ➡️ Age associated B-cells?

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

    methylation differences distinguish risk groups of MS progression. Searching for genetic predisposition conditional on DNAm revealed HLA differences between progressing and non-progressing groups #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  8. First up: Maja Jagodic from Karolinska Institute talking about mechanisms of Multiple Sclerosis development and progression

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  9. Not sure how interested anyone in my network is in my live-tooting of talks from the #Epigenomics of Common Disease 2022 conference? Anyway, I'll keep going for now 🙃

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  10. Sonia Garcia-Calzon - Novel subgroups of type 2 #diabetes reveal different DNA methylation patterns:

    adipose tissue methylation changes distinguish subtypes, and some of these are detectable also in blood. Also predict future risk of complications.

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  11. Short talks now: Marie de Borre on cfDNA detection of
    #preeclempsia using methylation changes. Use CpG sites with placenta-specific methyl. as markers. Early detection before usual diagnosis has high AUC #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  12. CW: conference live toot epigenomics

    "spatial multi-omic heart atlas": link spatial transcriptomics with single-cell RNA and epigenetics. Also sampling over multiple timepoints including accute myocardial infarction.

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  13. Next: Christoph Kuppe from Aachen talking about Spatial and single cell multi-omic analysis of human heart disease

    Regulation of ZBTB16 prob directly regulated by gccs through altering methylation levels around gcc response element in the enhancer. #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  15. CW: conference live toot epigenomics

    in-vitro stimulation of brain organoids with glucocorticoids shows upregulation of ZBTB16. KO of that gene blocks some effects of gccs #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

    Glucocorticoid response elements GREs show demethylation upon increased transcriptional response. Priming during pregnancy? #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  17. CW: conference live toot epigenomics

    Glucocorticoids given during pregnancy or as a result of stress can impact epigenetic marks in offspring - epigenetic "memory"?

    #Epigenomics22 #epigenetics

  18. Back after the coffee break. Now:

    "Cerebral organoids and prenatal stress"
