Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome ...

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

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

This important study by Bi and colleagues employed a clever genetics screen to uncover the role of the GidB rRNA methylase in translation fidelity, under certain conditions, in Mycobacterium smegmatis ...

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 ...

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 ...

After all, the cell must repeat its whole genetic material, including billions of genetic letters, before it can divide. Read ...

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

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 ...
