The effect of CpG DNA is, thus, almost identical to that of the more classical inducers of the innate immune system, for example, LPS, peptidoglycan and other components of bacterial cell walls ...

A new study has been published in Nature Communications, presenting the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA ...

which occurs in DNA at so-called "CpG" positions, where C is followed by the base guanine (G). Such tagging, commonly seen across the genome, plays a fundamental role in controlling the expression ...

The roles and targets of DNA methylation vary among the kingdoms of organisms. As previously noted, among Animalia, mammals tend to have fairly globally distributed CpG methylation patterns.

A comprehensive atlas maps DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation.

In a new study published in the KeAi journal Advances in Biomarker Sciences and Technology (ABST), an AI-driven approach was adopted to examine DNA methylation patterns at 865,859 CpG sites in ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. These clocks work by measuring epigenetic markers acquired with age, specifically methylated cytosines that are followed by guanines (CpG sites) along a DNA strand.

Early diagnosis of lung cancer is a critical priority in clinical practice. It may help reduce the rate of lung-cancer-related mortality, extend ...

Discover how AI and DNA methylation revolutionize brain tumor diagnosis, increasing accuracy, and identifying new therapeutic ...
