DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease1.

Horizontal gene transfer Another form of DNA methylation, 6mA, was erroneously reported by other researchers in several organisms before its detection was traced to bacterial contamination.

A new study by scientists at deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, shows that sequence variants drive the correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression. The same variants are linked to ...

DNA methylation is a widely studied epigenetic modification with crucial roles in gene regulation, development, and disease, particularly in cancer. It has immense potential as a biomarker for early ...

This indicates that DNA methylation in vapers, much like in smokers, can contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer, Tommasi said.

PacBio enhances methylation detection in HiFi sequencing by licensing advanced methods, improving insights into DNA modifications.

“The idea that trauma and violence can have repercussions into future generations should help people be more empathetic,” co-senior study author Connie Mulligan said.

A large-scale meta-analysis in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that lifetime cannabis use is associated with DNA methylation changes in peripheral blood, which could have implications for ...

In part 2 of this webinar, Dr. Emily Hodges, assistant professor of biochemistry at Vanderbilt University, will reveal new data that illustrates how the Hodges Lab is utilizing the 6-base genome to ...

The Human Genome Project was a massive undertaking that took more than a decade and billions of dollars to complete. For it, scientists collected DNA samples from anonymous volunteers who were ...

With more complete, “telomere-to-telomere” genome references, scientists’ understanding of the repetitive dark matter of DNA will become more clear.
