DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

These days, you can order up a test to find out your biological age, an estimate of how quickly or slowly you're aging compared to your peers. It's based on an analysis of modifications in your DNA. I ...

Genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD can be linked, in part, to distinct epigenetic signatures in newborn cord blood. An analysis of nearly 6 ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.
