For this reason, maintenance of the DNA methylation pattern is important to ensure the correct and consistent function of each cell type. But this is no easy feat: the DNA methylation pattern can ...

Not all genes are active at all times. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression. This straightforward experiment demonstrated that it was ...

Researchers sought to determine whether DNA methylation markers could be helpful in risk stratification for patients with AML and normal cytogenetics.

Experts have revealed the origins of a unique DNA duplication mechanism that grants plants additional ways to control genetic instructions.
