  • methylation and enhancer qustion

    Hi, thank you for viewing this question. I have a background in biology but not a background in bioinformatics. My question relates to conservation of the positions of enhancers.

    I am looking at the supplementary material of a study that says there are methylations at location 90752569 of chromosome 10, defined as a S_Shore (UCSC_CpG_Islands_Name=chr10:90750293-90751108) of the FAS gene (they mention its the FAS gene according to UCSC_RefGene_Name.) Under the column Enhancer it says "NA".

    However, on Genecard this location is not the location of FAS. Genecard states location of FAS is "chr10:88948601-88954174 (GRCh38/hg38)chr10:90708358-90713931 (GRCh37/hg19))"

    Location 90752569 on chromosome 10 does not seem to fit with FAS but it does with ACTA2 according to Genecard. Genomic Location of ACTA2: chr10:88988929-88997555 (GRCh38/hg38)chr10:90748686-90757312 (GRCh37/hg19)

    What is the meaning of this? Is this a methylation of FAS or ACTA2? Is this an enhancer region? Genecard says FAS has an enhancer for ACTA2. (https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/ca....pl?gene=ACTA2) I am grateful for an explanation of this.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
