Research title
Epigenomic analysis of the human placenta and endometrium constituting the fetal-maternal interface
Research overview
Aims: As a member of the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC), we obtain high-quality standard epigenome profiles of placenta tissue from Japanese donors, and open the data to public to promote basic research in human epigenome.
Methods: PBAT-seq, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and small RNA-seq
Targets: placenta (cytotrophoblast [normal/CT, fetal growth restriction/FGR-CT, preeclampsia/PE-CT, trisomy 18/Tri-18-CT], syncytiotrophoblast [ST], extravillous trophoblast [EVT], trophoblast stem cells [TS] derived from female/male CT, ST differentiated from TS, EVT differentiated from TS, stroma), uterus (endometrium epithelial, stroma), hydatidiform mole
