A new study has been published in Nature Communications, presenting the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 primary human cell types. The study was led by Ph.D ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

The first complete DNA methylation atlas of 39 human cell types reveals which genes can talk or are silenced, depending on whether their sequence is linked to methyl group epigenetic modification that ...

Exposure to heat can alter the way your DNA works, according to a new study. The effects could lead to long-term health ...

Extreme heat is more than just an immediate health hazard—it may be silently accelerating the aging process, with long-term consequences for public health.

This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both genetic and epigenetic data.
