Identify acetylation marks in adult mouse L4 vertebrae gene promoter regions from maternal high fat diet dams using H3K27ac ChIP-Seq

Genes with increased H3K27ac marks in their promoters were found in adult mice L4 vertebrae from mice using H3K27ac ChIP-Seq. Recent data suggests that in animals and humans that a maternal diet high in fat leads to poor bone growth and development in offspring. Genes with increased H3K27ac epigenetic marks normally have higher levels of expression. Understanding which genes are being upregulated due to maternal or offspring high fat diet would allow for better treatments to combat bone loss to be developed.
