Promoter-wide hypermethylation of the ribosomal RNA gene promoter in the suicide brain.

Promoter-wide hypermethylation of the ribosomal RNA gene promoter in the suicide brain.

<h4>Background</h4>Alterations in gene expression in the suicide brain have been reported and for several genes DNA methylation as an epigenetic regulator is thought to play a role. rRNA genes, that encode ribosomal RNA, are the backbone of the protein synthesis machinery and levels of r...
