CDCA7 facilitates MET1-mediated CG DNA methylation maintenance in centromeric heterochromatin via linker histone H1.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification essential for maintaining genome stability. However, how methyltransferases maintain CG methylation within compact chromatin, including centromeres, remains unclear. In humans, CDCA7 is necessary...

Mb-level CpG and TFBS islands visualized by AI and their roles in the nuclear organization of the human genome.

Genes & genetic systems
Unsupervised machine learning that can discover novel knowledge from big sequence data without prior knowledge or particular models is highly desirable for current genome study. We previously established a batch-learning self-organizing map (BLSOM) f...

Deep learning meets histones at the replication fork.

Cell
Epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin requires transfer of parental H3-H4 tetramers to both daughter duplexes during replication. Three recent papers exploit yeast genetics coupled to inheritance assays and AlphaFold2-multimer predictions coupled...
