Our Epigenomics Service
General Information about Our Epigenomics Service
The epigenome refers to the chemical modifications of the DNA and histone proteins that regulate the expression of genes. Epigenetic modifications are reversible and do not affect the DNA sequence itself. These changes control how well the DNA can be accessed and thus the gene expression level. Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation include changes in DNA methylation, modifications of histone tails, and expression of non-coding RNAs. These modifications can affect gene accessibility to DNA binding, regulatory proteins, and other components of the transcriptional machinery, ultimately altering transcription patterns.
As epigenetic modifications play a fundamental role in the gene expression, they are essential for the normal cell functioning. Changes in the epigenome can be associated with diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, or neurological disorders.
Using state-of-the-art sequencing technologies, we help you to gain novel insights into functional consequences of epigenetic variations. With years of experience in the analysis of epigenetic modifications, we provide effective solutions for, e.g., DNA methylation detection and analysis.
