Why Use Epigenetic Analysis: Whitepaper Release

Epigenetics is the study of physical modifications of DNA which do not alter the underlying genetic sequence. These types of modifications are dynamic and can occur naturally, through tightly regulated processes. Inappropriate epigenetic modification can have long-lasting effects, as well as deleterious results in a cell or tissue.   

Understanding epigenetic processes plays an important role in the research of cancers, metabolic syndromes, brain disorders and development amongst other areas. Epigenetic modifications are influenced by the environment and lifestyle, which makes them important to consider as part of clinical research studies to further understand how a drug may specifically benefit certain sub-populations. By analysing epigenetic changes, investigation into disease mechanisms and the development of therapies which target the epigenome are facilitated. Understanding where or how epigenetic changes could be altered or reversed may lead to the development and marketing of novel therapies.   

Epigenetic Analysis: Bioinformatic Applications for Research

Our new white paper, ‘Epigenetic Analysis: Bioinformatic Applications for Research’, introduces epigenetic analysis and highlights four diverse methods for epigenetic modification and the challenges these pose for research.
