Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methylation Occurs Rapidly at the Onset
... We used an antibody raised against a branched peptide containing four K9 dimethylated H3 amino termini [24] in indirect immunofluorescence studies. This allowed us to analyze temporal changes and to assess the extent of methylation over the whole chromosome. Metaphase spreads were prepared from undi ...

Cancer epigenetics
Cancer epigenetics is the study of epigenetic modifications to the genome of cancer cells that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Epigenetic alterations are as important as genetic mutations in a cell’s transformation to cancer, and their manipulation holds great promise for cancer prevention, detection, and therapy. In different types of cancer, a variety of epigenetic mechanisms can be perturbed, such as silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes by altered CpG island methylation patterns, histone modifications, and dysregulation of DNA binding proteins. Several medications which have epigenetic impact are now used in several of these diseases.
