Using Whole-genome Bisulfite Sequencing to Understand Chromatin State Changes in Cancer, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) February 07, 2014 -- Transcriptional regulation is accomplished by both focal cis-regulatory elements (promoters, enhancers, and insulators) and the higher order organization of chromosomes (topological domains). While these chromatin states are associated with a number of different epigenetic marks, DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine) is the most practical for studying primary tumors.
The presenters from University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins University and Epicentre (an Illumina company), will present on how whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is being used to profile dozens of primary tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project, how methylation can be accurately measured using next-generation sequencing, and a new method that yields comprehensive methylation coverage from small amounts of gDNA.
