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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
