Genomic Imprinting and Cancer: From Primordial Germ Cells to Somatic Cells by Adele Murrell

“…Cancer is a disease of aberrant cell growth and is characterised by genetic mutations and epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation. The mechanisms whereby imprinting is maintained in somatic cells and then erased and reset in the germline parallels epigenetic changes that cancer cells undergo. …”

Methods of massive parallel reporter assays for investigation of enhancers by S. E. Romanov, D. A. Kalashnikova, P. P. Laktionov

“…The development of high-throughput genomic assays has made it possible to significantly accelerate the accumulation of information about the characteristic epigenetic properties of regulatory elements. In combination with high-throughput studies focused on the genome-wide distribution of epigenetic marks, regulatory proteins and the spatial structure of chromatin, this significantly expands the understanding of the principles of epigenetic regulation of genes and allows potential regulatory elements to be searched for in silico. …”
