Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Researchers have built a detailed map of DNA methylation changes in nearly 1,000 human brains from six weeks after conception ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development ...

Scientists mapped brain development before birth, revealing DNA changes linked to autism and schizophrenia risk.

Crucially, they found that genes related to autism and schizophrenia change a lot during this early development. This ...

"We find that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with similar accuracy as common approaches that are based on methylation levels of individual ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 3, on March 12, 2025, titled "DNA methylation entropy is a biomarker for aging." Researchers Jonathan Chan, Liudmilla Rubbi, and ...

The method, known as EVOFLUx, uses natural fluctuations in DNA methylation as a kind of molecular “barcode” to reconstruct a ...
