DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

The first complete DNA methylation atlas of 39 human cell types reveals which genes can talk or are silenced, depending on whether their sequence is linked to methyl group epigenetic modification that ...

DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mechanism in numerous biological processes, including gene regulation, development, ageing and the onset of various diseases such as cancer. Studies of ...

Dr. Ho Sang Jung and his research team from the Advanced Bio and Healthcare Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have developed an optical biosensor capable ...

A new study suggests that high-potency cannabis influences DNA methylation and leaves a distinct mark on DNA. The findings provide insights into how cannabis use may affect biological processes. The ...

Findings bolster the idea that the functions of this protein -- MeCP2 -- are more centered on nucleosomes, rather than other forms of DNA. One particular protein lies at the heart of brain development ...
