The maps and discoveries made after
examining them are being published February 18 in more than 20 scientific papers in Nature and affiliated journals by a large consortium of researchers involved with the Roadmap
Epigenomics Project.
Next, the authors turned to their other
epigenomic profiling datasets — DNA accessibility (DNAse - Seq), methlation (bisulfite sequencing), and RNA transcription (RNA - Seq) to
examine and compare the properties of these chromatin states.
This fascinating field of
epigenomics examines how genes are modified without changing the DNA sequence — that is, how a gene for obesity, for instance, is modified by eating nonstarchy vegetables versus cupcakes.
