About - DAnCER - Wodak Lab: Disease Annotated Chromatin Epigenetic Resource

Epigenetics plays a key role in DNA replication, transcription and repair, and its disruption is implicated in the development of many forms of cancer and other diseases. As a result, there is now a growing number of projects dedicated to the study of chromatin modification - a crucial component of epigenetic processes. Similarly to other cellular processes, chromatin modification is carried out by groups of physically interacting proteins, and anomalies in protein interactions often lead to disease phenotypes. Yet there remains a dearth of public databases and analysis tools that explore the relationship between chromatin machinery and human disease, especially in the context of protein-interaction networks. DAnCER's goal is to fill this gap. I
