    摘要: The present invention generally relates to microfluidics and epigenetic sequencing. In one set of embodiments, cells contained within a plurality of microfluidic droplets are lysed and the DNA (e.g., from nucleosomes) within the droplets are labeled, e.g., with adapters containing an identification sequence. The adapters may also contain other sequences, e.g., restriction sites, primer sites, etc., to assist with later analysis. After labeling with adapters, the DNA from the different cells may be combined and analyzed, e.g., to determine epigenetic information about the cells. For example, the DNA may be separated on the basis of certain modifications (e.g., methylation), and the DNA from the separated nucleosomes may be sequenced using techniques such as chromatin immunoprecipitation ("ChIP"). In some cases, the DNA sequences may also be aligned with genomes, e. g., to determine which portions of the genome were epigenetically modified, e. g., via methylation.

    摘要: The present invention provides compounds of Formulae ( A ), ( B ), ( C ), and ( D ), pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, and prodrugs thereof, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and kits thereof. The present invention further provides methods of using the compounds to treat or prevent neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), traumatic brain injury, ischemic brain injury, stroke, frontal temporal dementia, Pick's disease, corticobasal degeneration, supra cerebral palsy, prion diseases (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, Fatal Familial Insomnia, and Kuru), Nieman Pick type C, spinal cerebellar ataxia, spinal muscular dystrophy, ataxia telangiectasia, hippocampal sclerosis, Cockayne syndrome, Werner syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosaum, and Bloom syndrome. In one aspect, the methods include administering to a subject in need of treatment for a neurological disorder a therapeutically effective amount of DAC-001 , DAC-002 , DAC-003 , DAC-009 , or DAC-012 , or a compound of Formula ( A ), ( B ), ( C ), or ( D ).
