Small Non-coding RNAs Are Dysregulated in Huntington’s Disease Transgenic Mice Independently of the Therapeutic Effects of an Environmental Intervention

Small Non-coding RNAs Are Dysregulated in Huntington's Disease Transgenic Mice Independently of the Therapeutic Effects of an Environmental Intervention

Huntington’s illness (HD) is a neurodegenerative dysfunction brought on by a trinucleotide repeat enlargement in the huntingtin gene. Transcriptomic dysregulations are well-documented in HD and alterations in small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), notably microRNAs (miRNAs), may underpin that phenomenon. Additionally, environmental enrichment (EE), which is used to mannequin a stimulating way of life in pre-clinical analysis, … Read more

Rare genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites modulates local DNA methylation profiles

Rare genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites modulates local DNA methylation profiles

Although DNA methylation is one of the best characterised epigenetic mark, the mechanism by which it’s focused to particular areas within the genome stays unclear. Recent research have revealed that local DNA methylation profiles may be dictated by cis-regulatory DNA sequences that primarily function by way of DNA-binding components. Consistent with this discovering, we now … Read more
