A graphic of a purple and magenta Cas9 protein, which is a somewhat round, but uneven, ball, bound to a yellow and orange strand of DNA, which is a long, thin spiral that is vertical to the protein.

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 ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers from Berlin, Potsdam, and Jena present a new method for analyzing the epigenome. The machine-learning method identifies ...
