A new atlas pairs DNA methylation with 3D genome folding in 86,689 human cells and ties disease risk to specific cell types.

Epigenetic clocks accurately predicted colon age and identified accelerated ageing linked to disease and neoplasia. Read more ...

In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers from Berlin, Potsdam, and Jena present a new method for ...

Placental epigenetic changes and immune dysregulation were associated with persistent food allergy in children.

What if we could estimate a shark’s age from a small blood sample rather than counting growth rings in its vertebrae? New ...

Age isn't just a number for one of the ocean's top apex predators. It's a mystery University of Georgia researchers are ...

DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is attached to the cytosine base of the DNA molecule, and is a major way that DNA is epigenetically marked. Epigenetic modifications can act as ...

Genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD can be linked, in part, to distinct epigenetic signatures in newborn cord blood. An analysis of nearly 6 ...

DNA methylation is a widely studied epigenetic modification with crucial roles in gene regulation, development, and disease, particularly in cancer. It has immense potential as a biomarker for early ...
