Not all genes are active at all times. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression. This straightforward experiment demonstrated that it was ...

As DNA methylation is a key marker of gene expression, this work allows scientists to explore changes in gene activity in the brain and other tissues that are typically absent from the fossil record.

A University of Surrey-led study reveals war-induced DNA methylation changes in Syrian refugee children, linked to neurotransmission and stress responses. Girls displayed stronger epigenetic impacts, ...

For example, DNA methylation modifies gene expression without altering the nucleotide sequence. A well-studied DNA methylation-based phenomenon is genomic imprinting (ie, genotype-independent ...

Researchers analyze various aspects of gene regulation, among which are the three-dimensional structure of the genome and DNA methylation, which differ for different cell types and play significant ...

In the era of big data, global mass data flow has presented data storage systems with a looming challenge. As DNA has ...

Maintaining good cardiovascular health may affect a key process in how cells age, allowing people who are genetically ...

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 ...
