Epigenomics Services for Cancer Research
Epigenomics offers comprehensive tools to map and understand the epigenetic modifications that play a crucial role in cancer development and progression. At Alfa Cytology, we offer a wide range of services to support researchers in unraveling the complexities of cancer epigenetics.
Overview of Cancer Epigenomics
Epigenomics plays a crucial role in understanding the complex mechanisms underlying cancer. Epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA expression, contribute to gene expression dysregulation and can serve as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic targets. With the rapidly evolving field of epigenomics, there is a growing need for comprehensive and reliable services to explore the epigenetic landscape of cancer.

Our Services
At Alfa Cytology, we provide state-of-the-art services tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experts is equipped with the latest technologies and analytical tools to unravel the epigenetic modifications associated with different types of cancer.
By decoding the epigenome, we aim to shed light on the underlying molecular mechanisms, identify novel therapeutic targets, and pave the way for personalized cancer therapies. Our services include, but are not limited to:
| Service Options |
Description |
| DNA Methylation Analysis |
We use bisulfite sequencing and arrays to profile DNA methylation patterns across the genome, which are critical for understanding gene expression regulation in cancer. |
| Histone Modification Profiling |
Through ChIP-seq (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing), we analyze histone modifications that regulate DNA accessibility and chromatin structure. |
| ATAC-seq |
By utilizing ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing), we provide insight into chromatin accessibility and can identify regulatory elements that contribute to cancer. |
| Chromatin Conformation Studies |
We employ techniques like Hi-C to study the 3D architecture of genomes and understand the higher-order chromatin interactions in cancer cells. |
