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 ...

In a post-hoc study of 777 Swiss participants, 1 g of omega-3 daily slowed aging on three of four DNA methylation clocks -- ...

Methylation is one of the more prevalent chemical modifications that histones undergo. Researchers have previously found that the methylation of one particular location, lysine-4, on histone H3 ...

Dunn, recently carried out a study exploring how DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that entails the addition of a methyl group to the DNA, contributes to the well-documented relationship ...

The methylation of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in various cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Currently, there are no biomarkers ...

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 ...
