An integrative analysis reveals coordinated reprogramming of the epigenome and the transcriptome in human skeletal muscle after training - 0 views
-
contribution to the training response of the epigenome as a mediator between genes and environment
-
Differential DNA methylation was predominantly observed in enhancers, gene bodies and intergenic regions and less in CpG islands or promoters
-
highly consistent and associated modifications in methylation and expression, concordant with observed health-enhancing phenotypic adaptations, are induced by a physiological stimulus

Exercise alters gene expression via methylation--the power of epigenetics. Interestingly, the majority of the methylation was outside the CPG island regions. This 3 month study found methylation of 5,000 sites across the genome resulting in altered expression of apps 4,000 genes. The altered muscle changes of the endurance training was linked to DNA methylation changes.
