A routine blood draw may one day help catch one of the world’s most common kidney cancers before it spreads, according to a study published in Epigenetics Communications. Researchers in Japan report t ...

Researchers led by the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, have checked the performance of a noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Findings indicate that ...

Researchers found that genome-wide plasma cfDNA methylation profiles collected before diagnosis contained early molecular signatures associated with future prostate and breast cancer, with prostate ...

A new review explains how DNA methylation episignatures provide functional evidence of disease mechanism in rare genetic ...

A study suggests blood DNA methylation patterns could identify increased prostate cancer risk years before diagnosis. Read ...

Interest in longevity science and precision health has driven attention toward epigenetic testing, which provides a deeper understanding of biological age compared to traditional lab assessments.

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification in which a methyl group is added to a DNA base without changing the underlying DNA sequence. In mammals, the best-known form is 5-methylcytosine (5mC), ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has detailed the development of a machine learning model to predict DNA methylation status in cell-free DNA by its fragmentation patterns, according to findings published ...

The preprint I introduced the other day (below) presented biological age using an epigenetic clock as an indicator. I think ...
