Long-lasting alterations to DNA methylation and ncRNAs could underlie the effects of fetal alcohol exposure in mice
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are characterized by life-long changes in gene expression, neurodevelopment and behavior. What mechanisms initiate and maintain these changes are not known, but current research suggests a role for alcohol-induced epigenetic changes. In this study we assessed alterations to adult mouse brain tissue by assaying DNA cytosine methylation and small noncoding RNA (ncRNA)...
