Extended transcriptome analysis reveals genome-wide lncRNA-mediated epigenetic dysregulation in colorectal cancer.

It is estimated that the rate of epigenetic changes may be orders of magnitude higher than that of genetic changes and that purely epigenetic mechanisms may explain why cancers arise with few or no recurrent mutations. However, supporting evidence remains limited, partly due to the cost of experimentally studying genome-wide epigenetic dysregulation. Since genome modification enzymes are recruited by long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to specific genomic sites, analyzing differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) at the DNA binding sites of differentially expressed lncRNAs is important for uncovering epigenetic dysregulation.
