Inspired by natural epigenetic inheritance, the researchers designed a system in which fragments of DNA, called bricks, assemble to form a unique pattern. Each of these bricks is made up of 24 ...

This study examines the impact of DNA methylation on CTCF binding in two cancer cell lines. Increased CTCF binding sites are enriched in gene bodies, and associate with nuclear speckles, indicating a ...

Human genome sequencing methods. (NIH) These overlooked genes have been hiding away in regions of our DNA thought not to code for proteins. These regions were once dismissed as 'junk DNA' but it turns ...

They then succeeded in stably modifying bases on the DNA carrier by selective methylation ... but currently only changes individual cytosine building blocks according to the epigenetic model ...

Their engineered cells can insert distinctive bits of genetic material into their DNA. As the cells divide, those genetic bits turn into distinctive bar codes. The technology is also allowing ...

A new study introduces a method to infer DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal tissues from ancient DNA, offering insights into human evolution, particularly brain function. Using an algorithm with ...

DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café' Date: November 21, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the ...
