DNA methylation is a key factor in the regulation of organismal development and tissue homeostasis. DNA methylation marks indicate how to regulate ...

The basic pattern of genomic DNA methylation is established at the time of embryo implantation through a wave of de novo methylation, but CpG islands are protected through a mechanism that ...

Two recent studies that provide the first comprehensive maps of human DNA methylation -- one of the most commonly studied epigenetic modifications -- and a new initiative that aims to generate 1,000 ...

Dr Divya Tej Sowpati's journey in epigenetics began after he completed his Masters in Zoology. Artificial Intelligence brings unprecedented clarity ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

Researchers have developed the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation. The study identified ...

Discover how histone modifications unlock secrets of human aging, rivaling the precision of DNA methylation in decoding biological age. In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances ...

Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how ...

Languages: English. A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and ...
