DNA methylation is one of the most intensely studied epigenetic modifications in mammals.
In normal cells, it assures the proper regulation of gene expression and stable gene …

Methylation of cytosine bases in DNA provides a layer of epigenetic control in many
eukaryotes that has important implications for normal biology and disease. Therefore …

DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic mark and CpG methylation is central to
many biological processes and human diseases. Since cancer has highlighted the …

Gene transcription can be activated or inhibited by a reversible modification of the gene; this
modification is termed an epigenetic change. This account of epigenetics in cancer reviews …

Reversible, spatial, and temporal regulation of metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic
homeostasis are prominent hallmarks of carcinogenesis. Cancer cells reprogram their …

For many years cancer research has focused on genetic defects, but during the last decade
epigenetic deregulation has been increasingly recognized as a hallmark of cancer. The …

An altered pattern of epigenetic modifications is central to many common human diseases,
including cancer. Many studies have explored the mosaic patterns of DNA methylation and …

CpG island hypermethylation and global genomic hypomethylation are common epigenetic
features of cancer cells. Less attention has been focused on histone modifications in cancer …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins are partially concordant for most complex diseases, including
autoimmune disorders. Whereas phenotypic concordance can be used to study heritability …

Most of the studies characterizing DNA methylation patterns have been restricted to
particular genomic loci in a limited number of human samples and pathological conditions …
