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 ...

There are three different types of DNA methylation in plants: CG, CHH (where H is any base except G), and CHG. In Arabidopsis, CG methylation is found on some genes, but primarily on repeat sequences ...

Using animal models, he, Dempsey, and the rest of their research team found that H3K36 methylation—a biochemical process that ...

Epigenetic changes in the placenta may shape how the fetal brain develops and thus influence the risk of psychiatric ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies ...

“Today, when we don’t know what causes a disease, we say it’s likely epigenetic. In a sense, I think this epigenetic viewpoint is right, but we need much more evidence to get a defined picture.” Cedar ...

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 ...

Methylation profiles of cancer-related CpG sites in tissue and plasma serve as biomarker for early diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer. Early diagnosis of lung cancer is a critical priority in ...

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 ...

A urinary DNA methylation test showed potential for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer, according to results of a prospective multicenter study.The approach — which outperformed the ...
