Chromatin changes in Anopheles gambiae induced by Plasmodium falciparum infection
Infection by the human malaria parasite leads to important changes in mosquito phenotypic traits related to vector competence. However, we still lack a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms and, in ... (Source: Epigenetics and Chromatin)

Dnmt1 is essential for egg production and embryo viability in the large milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus
The function of cytosine (DNA) methylation in insects remains inconclusive due to a lack of mutant and/or genetic studies. (Source: Epigenetics and Chromatin)

Specific functions of TET1 and TET2 in regulating mesenchymal cell lineage determination
The 5 hydroxymethylation (5hmC) mark and TET DNA dioxygenases play a pivotal role in embryonic stem cell differentiation and animal development. However, very little is known about TET enzymes in lineage deter... (Source: Epigenetics and Chromatin)

Functional dissection of the developmentally restricted BEN domain chromatin boundary factor Insensitive
Boundaries in the Drosophila bithorax complex delimit autonomous regulatory domains that activate the parasegment (PS)-specific expression of homeotic genes. The Fab-7 boundary separates the iab-6 and iab-7 regul... (Source: Epigenetics and Chromatin)

Integration of DNA methylation patterns and genetic variation in human pediatric tissues help inform EWAS design and interpretation
The widespread use of accessible peripheral tissues for epigenetic analyses has prompted increasing interest in the study of tissue-specific DNA methylation (DNAm) variation in human populations. To date, char... (Source: Epigenetics and Chromatin)
