Roles and regulation of histone methylation in animal development
Histone methylation can occur at various sites in histone proteins, primarily on lysine and
arginine residues, and it can be governed by multiple positive and negative regulators, even …

Epigenetics and beyond: targeting writers of protein lysine methylation to treat disease
Protein lysine methylation is a crucial post-translational modification that regulates the
functions of both histone and non-histone proteins. Deregulation of the enzymes or 'writers' …

Many lncRNAs, 5'UTRs, and pseudogenes are translated and some are likely to express functional proteins
Using a new bioinformatic method to analyze ribosome profiling data, we show that 40% of
lncRNAs and pseudogene RNAs expressed in human cells are translated. In addition,~ 35 …
