A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

Sequencing the human genome enables scientists to study human biology in a granular fashion and use that information to create treatments for things like cancer. Yet, of the human genomes studied so ...

An organism has multiple, cell type-specific, epigenomes comprising epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation ... with CUT&Tag peaks mapping to key cell type-specific regulatory regions.

A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic ...

Men who experienced abuse or neglect in childhood show distinct changes in the molecular makeup of their sperm, according to ...

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 ...

But pistachios have been slightly understudied, in part because of the lack of a high-quality map of their DNA. University of California, Davis, researchers have now generated the most comprehensive ...

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

Using an unbiased approach, this important study discovered a role of Ezh2 in the differentiation of granule neuron precursors, the cell of origin for Shh group of medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the ...

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

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 ...
