Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of muscle cells extracted from healthy donors at different ages. The Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across > 485,000 methylation sites. The muscle cells were extracted from young adults (18-40 years old) and elderly (>70 years old)(n=3 per group, 2 groups : Young and aged adult). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 6 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip

Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
Project description:Analysis of skeletal muscle DNA methylation from type 2 diabetic volunteers before and after 16 weeks of chronic exercise training (two groups, one undergoing aerobic excercise and the other resistance training exercise) A biopsy was collected from the right Vastus Lateralis under local anaesthesia andGenomic DNA was extracted from 5-10 mg muscle, Bisulphite conversion (Illumina) was checked using methylation specific PCR. 4 ?l of bisulphite-converted DNA was used for hybridization on Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip (Illumina)
