…DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA. The most well studied and abundant of these is DNA methylation, which includes the addition of a chemical group to DNA. Prior studies…
…University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that an epigenetic mechanism known as DNA hydroxymethylation can alter the virus’s DNA and impact the proliferation of NPC. EBV is either lytic or latent…
…length in vivo. Fig. 1. DNA methylation analysis of Nme2 promoter was performed by bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA using the Methylamp DNA Modification Kit (EpiGentek, USA) followed by sequencing….
…their brain structure and function to assess whether there was an association between DNA methylation and sociability. They found that individuals who had a higher level of methylation on the…
…different genes. “Our findings suggest that DNA methylation may play an important role, and the wide scope of the associations between SES and DNAm is consistent with the wide range…
…aimed to determine a better predictor of PTSD symptomology by combining brain imaging and epigenetics. Hippocampal volume and cytosine methylation of veterans were measured and used to generate a complex…
…DNA methylation is perhaps one of the most common and well-studied epigenetic mechanisms. It describes the addition or removal of a methyl group to the DNA without changing the underlying…
…methylation, defined as the addition of a methyl group to DNA via DNA methyltransferases. DNA methylation modifies the function of the genes and typically reduces gene expression. In order to…
…team of researchers set out to investigate the role of oxidative stress and DNA hydroxymethylation caused by particulate matter from air pollution, in the development of neurodegenerative disease. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC)…
…addiction and offers new hope for more effective epigenetic-based treatments. Specifically, the researchers from McGill University and Bar Ilan University looked at how DNA methylation can give epigenetic hope to…
