Epigenetics Newsletter - April, 2023
Active Motif has teamed up with EpiGenie to deliver you the best collection of recent epigenetics news articles and educational resources to ensure that you can stay on top of what’s new in epigenetics research.
Some say the bigger the better, while others believe it’s what you do with it that counts! Now, a study reports that the most recent iteration of EPIC DNA methylation (900K EPIC v2) microarrays – which supercharges your insight by taking in both many more informative CpGs and additional chromatin features – supports the efficient high-throughput profiling of the human DNA methylome.

While some research develops at “a snail’s pace,” other projects “canter” along briskly; however, a recent study moved faster than a rat up a drainpipe, with a cross-country team leaving their mark on the “rat race” by successfully identifying novel imprinted genes and highlighting the rapid evolution of imprinting in this vital model animal.

Detection of LINE-1 ORF1p in liquid biopsies has been proposed as an effective means of diagnosing cancer early and improving therapeutic outcomes. In this article, we take a look at two related, innovative studies describing how LINE-1 transposable elements may provide new biopsy biomarkers whose detection will improve the early diagnosis and long-term management of many cancers.
