Unlocking the metabolic potential of endophytic fungi through epigenetics: a paradigm shift for natural product discovery and plant-microbe interactions.

Natural product reports
Covering: up to December 2024Microbial metabolic pathways, including those of endophytic fungi, offer significant potential for synthesizing secondary metabolites, regardless of their ecological niche. These pathways can be modulated at the molecular...

How to measure and model cardiovascular aging.

Cardiovascular research
Most acquired cardiovascular diseases are more common in older people, and the biological mechanisms and manifestations of aging provide insight into cardiovascular pathophysiology. Measuring aging within the cardiovascular system may help to better ...

Epigenetic Heritability of Cell Plasticity Drives Cancer Drug Resistance through a One-to-Many Genotype-to-Phenotype Paradigm.

Cancer research
UNLABELLED: Cancer drug resistance is multifactorial, driven by heritable (epi)genetic changes but also by phenotypic plasticity. In this study, we dissected the drivers of resistance by perturbing organoids derived from patients with colorectal canc...

Personalized medicine for cardiovascular diseases: how next generation epigenetic technologies can contribute?

Epigenomics
Advances in DNA methylation and artificial intelligence have led to new methods for assessing risk and diagnosing coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of death. However, whether these technologies can also be harnessed to generate new phar...

The predictive power of profiling the DNA methylome in human health and disease.

Epigenomics
Early and accurate diagnosis significantly improves the chances of disease survival. DNA methylation (5mC), the major DNA modification in the human genome, is now recognized as a biomarker of immense clinical potential. This is due to its ability to ...

AutoFE-Pointer: Auto-weighted feature extractor based on pointer network for DNA methylation prediction.

International journal of biological macromolecules
DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic modification that plays a central role in gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and the development of various diseases, including cancers. Aberrant methylation patterns have emerged as both biomarkers an...

SCIG: Machine learning uncovers cell identity genes in single cells by genetic sequence codes.

Nucleic acids research
Deciphering cell identity genes is pivotal to understanding cell differentiation, development, and cell identity dysregulation involving diseases. Here, we introduce SCIG, a machine-learning method to uncover cell identity genes in single cells. In a...

scPrediXcan integrates deep learning methods and single-cell data into a cell-type-specific transcriptome-wide association study framework.

Cell genomics
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) help identify disease-causing genes but often fail to pinpoint disease mechanisms at the cellular level because of the limited sample sizes and sparsity of cell-type-specific expression data. Here, we pr...

Endometrial tumorigenesis involves epigenetic plasticity demarcating non-coding somatic mutations and 3D-genome alterations.

Genome biology
BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of ECs depend on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) for proliferation, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation in these tumors.

ChromActivity: integrative epigenomic and functional characterization assay based annotation of regulatory activity across diverse human cell types.

Genome biology
We introduce ChromActivity, a computational framework for predicting and annotating regulatory activity across the genome through integration of multiple epigenomic maps and various functional characterization datasets. ChromActivity generates genome...
