Sentences with phrase «methylation along the genome»

Using a mathematical model known as the Ising model, invented to describe phase transitions in statistical physics, such as how a substance changes from liquid to gas, the Johns Hopkins researchers calculated the probability distribution of methylation along the genome in several different human cell types, including normal and cancerous colon, lung and liver cells, as well as brain, skin, blood and embryonic stem cells.

Next, they found that the genomes of naïve embryonic stem cells have less methylation — the addition of methyl chemical groups along DNA.

Endophyte genomes undergo CpG methylation, while prokaryotic genomes do not, making it easy to sequence either of these along with the particular plant genome (s) of interest.
