25 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The epigenome refers to marks on the genome, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, that regulate the expression of underlying genes. A consistent profile of gene expression changes in end-stage cardiomyopathy led us to hypothesize that distinct global patterns of the epigenome may also exist. METHODS AND RESULTS: We constructed genome-wide maps of DNA methylation and histone-3 lysine-36...
