Epigenetics is the study of chromatin-based events that regulate gene expression without the change of DNA sequence, including DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin remodeling. Epigenetic regulators are encoded to modify chromatin in a highly regulated and dynamic manner. A growing number of studies have suggested the dysregulation of epigenetic...
More than half of proteins in humans are modified with carbohydrates in a process called glycosylation, yet this process remains poorly understood even though approximately 1% of the expressed human genome encodes biosynthetic machinery for glycosylation. Unlike genomics and proteomics where high throughput tools are now routinely used to generate...
