methylation

Gang Fang’s new metagenomics method helps sequence rare bacteria.

Profiling genetic variants and DNA methylation changes in cell free DNA could transform the detection of cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma.

A multiomic sequencing approach helps scientists capture more biomarker information through liquid biopsy.

To gather multiomic insights, researchers used to combine data from multiple workflows, but duet evoC provides more information from less sample in one workflow.

In this webinar, Özgen Deniz and Christina Leslie will discuss how epigenetic regulation affects oncogenesis.

Researchers advance the potential of precision medicine with cutting edge sequencing technology.

Jumping genes are let loose in cancerous cells, with multiple effects on cell health.

Transposons may be key players in how tumors develop and spread, but they also keep cancer at bay in some circumstances.

The antidepressant properties of hallucinogenic drugs may stem from their ability to bind to intracellular serotonin receptors, a study suggests.

An engineered methylation pattern persisted for four generations of mice, demonstrating transgenerational epigenetic inheritance can occur in mammals.

Although epigenetic changes were long thought to largely act on the genome, rather than as part of it, research is now showing that these patterns can, directly or indirectly, change the genetic code.

Evidence is mounting that epigenetic marks on DNA can influence future generations in a variety of ways. But how such phenomena might affect large-scale evolutionary processes is hotly debated.

Vera Gorbunova discusses what naked and blind mole-rat cells reveal about aging and cancer resistance mechanisms. 

Epigenetic events, such as methylation, during early brain development in mice occur in genomic regions associated with BMI in humans, according to a new study.

Discover how efforts to uncover the genome's methylation patterns advance cancer detection.

Epigenetic experts discuss how environment and diet leave lasting impressions on the human genome.

Some studies suggest that associations between the health of children and the experiences of their parents or grandparents may be due to epigenetic mechanisms, but confounding factors challenge this interpretation.

The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate.

A pair of new studies finds that analyzing material from a Pap smear can reveal tumor risk in distant parts of the body, potentially allowing early interventions.
