Epigenetic alterations are considered among the earliest genomic changes in carcinogenesis 1. DNA methylation, a crucial epigenetic process, primarily occurs at cytosine bases within cytosine-guanine ...

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is emerging as an avenue for cancer detection, but the characteristics of cfDNA fragmentation in the blood are poorly understood. We evaluate the effect of DNA ...

A team of leading Croatian researchers at the Center of Excellence in Reproductive and Regenerative Medicine, Zagreb School of Medicine, has made a novel discovery in our understanding of limb ...

Figure 5. Average mediated proportions for DNA methylation and clinical mediators on the relationship between occupation status and all-cause mortality, NHANES 1999-2002 (n=2,402). Coefficients marked ...

Researchers found that maternal plasma cell-free DNA methylation patterns in late pregnancy were associated with later autism ...

Transposons, so-called jumping genes, are a threat to genomes, so plants work hard to prevent them from mobilizing and re-inserting into the genome. Spirodela polyrhiza, the most ancient member of the ...

A large meta-analysis shows breastfeeding is linked to subtle DNA methylation differences in infants, suggesting a molecular ...
