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 ...

These kits offer fast, reliable methods for purifying genomic DNA from a range of microorganisms, including viable yeast cells, fungal spores or mycelium, and Gram-positive bacteria. DNA ...

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 ...

Mumbai: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) has shed light on how a seemingly useless piece of DNA manages to outsmart yeast cells and ensure its survival ...

DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism in which a methyl group is added onto a nucleotide, commonly cytosine. DNA methylation affects many biological processes, including gene ...
