   Secreted frizzled-related protein 1

   Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) is able to detect this epigenetic change and could be used for cancer detection.

   Bisulfite sequencing

   DNA methylation was the first discovered epigenetic mark, and remains the most studied. ... Therefore, it will amplify both methylated and unmethylated sequences, in contrast to methylation-specific PCR.

   Methylation

   This process is referred to as "epigenetic reprogramming". ... "Role of histone H3 lysine 9 methylation in epigenetic control of heterochromatin assembly".

   DNA methylation

   As such, it is part of the epigenetic code and is also the most well characterized epigenetic mechanism. ... "RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis".

   Axel Schumacher

   Epigenetic factors, which can be inherited, regulate gene activity by chemically changing DNA (e.g. DNA methylation) or by having DNA interact with particular proteins.

   Reelin

   They change their mode of migration from tangential to radial, and begin using the radial glia fibers as their guides. ... According to the epigenetic hypothesis, drugs that shift the balance in favour of demethylation have a potential to alleviate the proposed methylation-caused downregulation of RELN and GAD67.

   Long noncoding RNA

   This includes a ncRNA, HAR1F, which has undergone rapid evolutionary change in humans and is specifically expressed in the Cajal-Retzious cells in the human neocortex (Pollard 2006). ... Epigenetic modifications, including histone and DNA methylation, histone acetylation and sumolyation, affect many aspects of chromosomal biology, primarily including regulation of large numbers of genes by remodeling broad chromatin domains (Kiefer 2007; Mikkelsen 2007).

    Cancer

    Known mechanisms of epigenetic change include DNA methylation, and methylation or acetylation of histone proteins bound to chromosomal DNA at specific locations.
