DNA methylation is a normal biological process in living cells wherein small chemical groups called methyl groups are added to DNA. This activity controls which genes are turned on and off, which in ...
DNA methylation is the covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA bases, typically the cytosine of CpG dinucleotides. It is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes using a S-adenosyl methionine ...
Research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution introduces a novel method for inferring DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal tissues from ancient specimens, providing new insights into human ...
