SmcHD1, containing a structural-maintenance-of-chromosomes hinge domain, has a critical role in X inactivation
- M. Blewitt, Anne-Valerie Gendrel, +9 authors E. Whitelaw
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 May 2008
X-chromosome inactivation is the mammalian dosage compensation mechanism by which transcription of X-linked genes is equalized between females and males. In an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis… Expand
Neonatal DNA methylation profile in human twins is specified by a complex interplay between intrauterine environmental and genetic factors, subject to tissue-specific influence.
- L. Gordon, J. Joo, +12 authors R. Saffery
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 August 2012
Comparison between groups of monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins enables an estimation of the relative contribution of genetic and shared and nonshared environmental factors to phenotypic… Expand
Genes and genomes: chromosome bands – flavours to savour
- J. Craig, W. Bickmore
- Biology
- 1 May 1993
The mammalian chromosome is longitudinally heterogeneous in structure and function and this is the basis for the specific banding patterns produced by various chromosome staining techniques. The two… Expand
Evidence for widespread changes in promoter methylation profile in human placenta in response to increasing gestational age and environmental/stochastic factors
- B. Novakovic, R. K. Yuen, +6 authors R. Saffery
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Genomics
- 28 October 2011
BackgroundThe human placenta facilitates the exchange of nutrients, gas and waste between the fetal and maternal circulations. It also protects the fetus from the maternal immune response. Due to its… Expand
Epigenetic silencing of BIM in glucocorticoid poor-responsive pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and its reversal by histone deacetylase inhibition.
- P. Bachmann, R. Piazza, +17 authors R. Lock
- Biology, Medicine
- Blood
- 21 October 2010
Glucocorticoids play a critical role in the therapy of lymphoid malignancies, including pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), although the mechanisms underlying cellular resistance remain… Expand
DNA methylation analysis of multiple tissues from newborn twins reveals both genetic and intrauterine components to variation in the human neonatal epigenome.
- M. Ollikainen, K. Smith, +8 authors J. Craig
- Biology, Medicine
- Human molecular genetics
- 1 November 2010
Mounting evidence from both animal and human studies suggests that the epigenome is in constant drift over the life course in response to stochastic and environmental factors. In humans, this has… Expand

The distribution of CpG islands in mammalian chromosomes
- J. Craig, W. Bickmore
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 July 1994
Using fluorescent in situ suppression hybridization to metaphase chromosomes, we have directly shown that CpG islands are predominantly found in the early replicating (R band) regions of the genome.… Expand
Heterochromatin—many flavours, common themes
- J. Craig
- Biology, Medicine
- BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular…
- 1 January 2005
Heterochromatin remains condensed throughout the cell cycle, is generally transcriptionally inert and is built and maintained by groups of factors with each group member sharing a similar function.… Expand
An epigenetic clock for gestational age at birth based on blood methylation data
BackgroundGestational age is often used as a proxy for developmental maturity by clinicians and researchers alike. DNA methylation has previously been shown to be associated with age and has been… Expand
