Metastable epialleles in mammals

VK Rakyan, ME Blewitt, R Druker, JI Preis, E Whitelaw - Trends in Genetics, 2002 - cell.com
… Heterozygous mice that are agouti carry a methylated A vy allele ( m A vy ), which is
effectively a … Homozygous mice with two methylated A vy alleles ( m A vy / m A vy ) are agouti. …

Why weight? Modelling sample and observational level variability improves power in RNA-seq analyses

…, N Jansz, K Chen, HS Leong, ME Blewitt… - Nucleic acids …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Variations in sample quality are frequently encountered in small RNA-sequencing
experiments, and pose a major challenge in a differential expression analysis. Removal of high …

SmcHD1, containing a structural-maintenance-of-chromosomes hinge domain, has a critical role in X inactivation

ME Blewitt, AV Gendrel, Z Pang, DB Sparrow… - Nature …, 2008 - nature.com
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-…

The use of mouse models to study epigenetics

M Blewitt, E Whitelaw - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives …, 2013 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Much of what we know about the role of epigenetics in the determination of phenotype has
come from studies of inbred mice. Some unusual expression patterns arising from …

ChIP-seq analysis reveals distinct H3K27me3 profiles that correlate with transcriptional activity

…, E Trounson, DJ Hilton, ME Blewitt… - Nucleic acids …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Transcriptional control is dependent on a vast network of epigenetic modifications. One
epigenetic mark of particular interest is tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3), …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic reprogramming of DNA methylation at an epigenetically sensitive allele in mice

ME Blewitt, NK Vickaryous, A Paldi, H Koseki… - PLoS …, 2006 - journals.plos.org
There is increasing evidence in both plants and animals that epigenetic marks are not always
cleared between generations. Incomplete erasure at genes associated with a measurable …

The epigenetic regulator SMCHD1 in development and disease

N Jansz, K Chen, JM Murphy, ME Blewitt - Trends in Genetics, 2017 - cell.com
It has very recently become clear that the epigenetic modifier SMCHD1 has a role in two
distinct disorders: facioscapulohumoral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and Bosma arhinia and …

An N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea screen for genes involved in variegation in the mouse

ME Blewitt, NK Vickaryous, SJ Hemley… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
We have developed a sensitized screen to identify genes involved in gene silencing, using
random N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis on mice carrying a variegating GFP transgene. …

Modifiers of epigenetic reprogramming show paternal effects in the mouse

…, HS Scott, D De Kretser, M O'Bryan, M Blewitt… - Nature …, 2007 - nature.com
There is increasing evidence that epigenetic information can be inherited across generations
in mammals, despite extensive reprogramming both in the gametes and in the early …
