Epigenomics

Examine the impact of epigenomic modifications that cause diseases and disorders in plants, animals, and humans.

What Is Epigenomics?

Epigenomics is the study of epigenetic changes — such as chromatin assembly, histone modification, and DNA-protein interaction — in a cell.

These modifications are different between different cell types and can affect gene translation and gene expression without changing the DNA sequence.

Why Is Studying Epigenomics Important?

Genetic disorders, metabolic disorders, cancers, degenerative diseases, and changes in plant plasticity have all been linked to epigenetic errors.

Studying the locations and understanding how reversible compound interactions influence genome expression can help scientists recognize the mechanisms by which genes are turned on or off in a disease.

Identify Modifiers

Understand the role heritability, environment, and behavior play in gene expression and cell differentiation.

Epigenomics Tools

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS)

Best for

Profiling genome-wide methylation of DNA that represses transcription and gene expression

Benefits

Methylated cytosine bases are protected and resulting DNA can be sequenced using various methods

Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS)

Best for

Profiling genome-wide methylation on a single nucleotide scale using a restriction enzyme digestion at CpG sites

Benefits

Enriched for regions of high methylation, resulting in a greater resolution of the regions of interest

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-Seq)

Best for

Identifying genome-wide binding sites of DNA-associated proteins such as transcription factors or histone modifications

Benefits

Identifying DNA-binding protein interactions across the entire genome, and understanding the regulation of biological processes in the context of disease

Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin Sequencing (ATAC-Seq)

Best for

Mapping genome-wide chromatin accessibility by detecting open chromatin regions

Benefits

Provides detailed insight regarding what areas of the DNA are available for interaction with transcriptional factors that play a role in gene expression regulation

Custom Methylation Sequencing

Best for

Assessing methylation patterns using commercially available or custom hybrid capture approaches

Benefits

Focus on the scientist's regions of interest which will require less sequencing depth
