Researchers unveil histone-based age predictors, offering a new window into epigenetic aging and its shared patterns across ...

"The ability to analyze ancient DNA methylation patterns beyond bones gives us a window into how tissues, especially brain cells ... changes in human evolution and the development of complex ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that epigenetic modifiers have key roles in genome-wide reprogramming and activation and repression of specific genes during mammalian germ-cell development.

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 ...

“Generally, methylation ... of DNA that have that protein [attached],” said Cosgrove. The recent development of assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq), a simple ...

Two weeks after a human egg is fertilized, primordial germ cells (PGCs), which develop ... at the National Center for Child Health and Development, said the latest research marked a significant ...

It allows researchers to quickly, and cheaply, target and edit genes at precise locations along the lengthy DNA ... to “germ line” cells — those that could pass on edits to a future human.
