Various urine tests are showing promise for the diagnosis and surveillance of urothelial carcinoma, including bladder cancer and UTUC.

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.

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

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), ...

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 epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.
