…involves the targeted modification of epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, RNA methylation, and histone modifications, to regulate gene expression without altering the underlying primary DNA sequence. With regard to…
…measured with a MethylFlash™ 5-Formylcytosine Quantification Kit. DNA demethylation is the removal of a methyl group from DNA. This mechanism is equally as important and coupled with DNA methylation. The…

…expression. Aberration in DNA methylation has long been linked to diseases such as cancer and exploited as diagnostic biomarkers, but in forensic analysis, the use of DNA methylation as a…
…article by Fides Lay, Ph.D., DNA Methylation Solves Crimes, a DNA methylation-based assay could be used in forensic applications for age prediction, authentication of DNA samples, body fluid identification, and…
…active histone mark H3K27ac. The results surprised Jakobsson and his team. He said, “If you shut down DNA methylation in mouse cells, they don’t survive, but when DNA methylation was…
…DNA methylation’s pivotal role in craniofacial development. DNA methylation is an epigenetic process that involves the addition of methyl groups to DNA molecules, usually at specific locations known as CpG…
…(DNMTs). Three DNMTs are required for establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation patterns. DNMT1 is responsible for the maintenance of DNA methylation patterns, while DNMT3a and 3b mediate establishment of…
…DNA is treated with bisulfite salt and then converted to double-stranded DNA for ligation and PCR amplification. Targeted methylation-sequencing solves the issue of limited flexibility and efficiency of DNA methylation…
…diet, pollution, and exercise influence DNA methylation, allowing many organisms to adapt. However, as noted in prior studies, alterations in DNA methylation have been linked to conditions like cancer, metabolic…
