Epigenetic differences arise during the lifetime of monozygotic twins.
2005
Monozygous twins share a common genotype. However, most monozygotic twin pairs are not identical; several types of phenotypic discordance may be observed, such as differences in susceptibilities to disease and a wide range of anthropomorphic features. There are several possible explanations for these observations, but one is the existence of epigenetic differences. To address this issue, we examined the global and locus-specific differences in DNA methylation and histone acetylation of a large cohort of monozygotic twins. We found that, although twins are epigenetically indistinguishable during the early years of life, older monozygous twins exhibited remarkable differences in their overall…
Epigenetic outlier profiles in depression: A genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of monozygotic twins
2018
Recent discoveries highlight the importance of stochastic epigenetic changes, as indexed by epigenetic outlier DNA methylation signatures, as a valuable tool to understand aberrant cell function and subsequent human pathology. There is evidence of such changes in different complex disorders as diverse as cancer, obesity and, to a lesser extent, depression. The current study was aimed at identifying outlying DNA methylation signatures of depressive psychopathology. Here, genome-wide DNA methylation levels were measured (by means of Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip) in peripheral blood of thirty-four monozygotic twins informative for depressive psychopathology (lifetime DSM-IV d…
La historia imaginada por el cine europeo de finales del siglo XX. Chéreau, Besson, Olmi
2017
Análisis de tres películas de historia europeas de la última década del siglo XX. La reina Margot, Patrice Chéreau, 1994; Juana de Arco de Luc Besson, 1999; El oficio de las armas, Ermanno Olmi, 2001. La tesis muestra las diferentes formas en que este cine neobarroco se conjuga con la historia, atendiendo al análisis del cine en su relación con la historia, las fuentes escritas e iconográficas, el teatro, las artes plásticas, el cómic, la cultura popular, así como con el propio cine. También hace especial mención a las representaciones sociales como forma de conocimiento propia del cine.
