On the other hand, invertebrate animals generally have a "mosaic" pattern of methylation, where regions of heavily methylated DNA are interspersed with nonmethylated regions. The global pattern of ...

Research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution introduces a novel method for inferring DNA methylation patterns in ...

DNA can last for many centuries. A new DNA storage technology works in the laboratory with parallelizable writing processes ...

A new study introduces a method to infer DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal tissues from ancient DNA, offering insights ...

This study examines the impact of DNA methylation on CTCF binding in two cancer cell lines. Increased CTCF binding sites are enriched in gene bodies, and associate with nuclear speckles, indicating a ...

Oxford Nanopore Technologies, the company delivering a new generation of nanopore-based molecular sensing technology, today ...

A team of researchers has successfully used DNA as a data storage medium, with a method inspired by old printing techniques. The idea isn't new: DNA, capable of storing immense amounts of ...

The orientation of the MBD protein relative to this CpG will change by ∼180° depending on which protein functional groups interact with the methyl CpG on a particular DNA strand. For those MBD ...

DNA m is a natural process where small chemical groups, called methyl groups, are added to certain parts of our DNA. These groups act like switches, turning genes on or off or adjusting how strongly ...

Zhong's new research focuses on DNA methylation, a normal biological process in living cells wherein small chemical groups called methyl groups are added to DNA. This activity controls which genes ...
