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 ...

Lemons owe their signature tang to citric acid, yet the molecular mechanisms governing its accumulation have long remained a ...

Label a nebulizer with the name of the DNA sample to be treated, and cover the gas hose connection with Parafilm. Place the nebulizer on ice. The DNA may be fragmented using another method (for ...

Mapping DNA methylomes in single cells is challenging, and thus studies using bulk samples remain common. Here, authors develop a transformer-based method for methylation pattern analysis to ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

The researchers discovered differences in a process called DNA methylation in people who used marijuana. DNA methylation ...

Previous research has reported that increased DNA methylation levels are associated with aging. The findings, which are based on a small randomized controlled trial of 21 pairs of adult identical ...

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 ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.
