DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

TEL AVIV, Israel & LEHI, Utah & HOUSTON & FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, announced today a landmark move to Whole Genome ...

High-throughput sequencing relies on mechanical and enzymatic techniques to break apart DNA into fragments in a consistent and reliable manner. However, traditional approaches tend to favor DNA ...

A new study has been published in Nature Communications, presenting the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 primary human cell types. The study was led by Ph.D.

A combined whole-genome sequencing approach could be used to detect and monitor cancer from liquid biopsies. It is challenging to monitor cancer from liquid biopsies due to the low concentrations of ...

GeneDx announced major enhancements to its whole genome sequencing offering. The new features include faster turnaround time for rapid whole genome sequencing, buccal samples, and repeat expansions.

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is one of the most critical epigenetic modifications in mammals that formed by DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) through adding methyl groups to the carbon-5′position of cytosine.
