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

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

Children exposed to second-hand smoke at home are more likely to show certain changes in the epigenome, which can alter the way genes are expressed. These epigenetic changes could influence the ...

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

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Genes, fragments of DNA located on our chromosomes, control much of what happens in cells. Each cell activates only the genes it needs, silencing the rest through molecular "switches" present on each ...

PacBio has announced plans to enhance its methylation detection capabilities in HiFi sequencing by licensing advanced methods from Professor Dennis Lo and his team at The Chinese University of Hong ...
