Most transposable elements (TE) lay dormant, buried under repressive epigenetic marks that ensure their influence over cell behaviour remains minimal. When they awaken, however, the consequences can be far reaching.
Professor Ellen Heitzer’s lab at the Medical University of Graz analysed eight samples from localised PCa, metastatic PCa, and suspicious Pca (men with elevated serum PSA and/or suspect digital rectal examination but negative biopsy) using the duet multiomics solution evoC.
As well as helping researchers identify tumour DNA amid the soup of regular cell-free DNA, the fact that different tissues have distinct methylation patterns can help explain where the cell-free DNA might be coming from. “There are many advantages to being able to study epigenomics in concert with genomic features,” says Dawson.
Learn how 6-base sequencing reveals 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) have important roles in the regulation of genome dynamics. Deregulation of TET can spur an increase of 5hmC in heterochromatin which could potentially be an early biomarker of genome dysfunction that lead to diseases.

To address the difficulties of analysing methylation data, this poster presents modality, an efficient and scalable analysis package for 5- and 6-base genomes.
This poster demonstrates that the combination of 5mC and 5hmC is highly effective for early-stage CRC detection in cfDNA – read it now.
Understanding the factors that affect DNA methylation can open up new avenues to explore human health and disease.
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the fundamental building block of life. Let’s explore the fascinating types of DNA in the world.
