Abstract

Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms play an important role in gene silencing and genome stability; therefore, epigenetic mutations cause a variety of diseases. Analysis of the epigenome by next-generation sequencers has revealed many epigenetic mutations in various diseases such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, autism, allergies, immune diseases, and imprinting diseases. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to identify the causative epigenetic mutations because there has been no method to generate animals with target-specific epigenetic mutations. However, it has become possible to generate such animals due to the recent development of epigenome editing technology. Here, we introduce the generation of epigenome-edited mice by target-specific DNA demethylation.
