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 ...

Past psychology research suggests that there is a strong relationship between difficult experiences during childhood and the development of depressive symptoms. In fact, statistics suggest that ...

"We find that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with similar accuracy as common approaches that are based on methylation levels of individual ...

The epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.

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 ...

Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have uncovered how eukaryotic cells can control gene activity even after losing one of their major gene-regulatory ...

The researchers measured the variation in DNA methylation patterns to develop the method and applied it to multiple types of cancer.
