In recent years, the field of epigenetics has grown dramatically and has become one of the
most dynamic and fast-growing branches of molecular biology. The amount of diseases …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that is related to mammalian cellular
differentiation, gene expression regulation, and disease. In several studies, DNA …

Epigenetics, the study of somatically heritable changes in gene expression not related to
changes in the DNA sequence, is a rapidly expanding research field that plays important …

The number of epigenetic studies is exponentially increasing. There is anticipation that DNA
methylation may close gaps in our understanding of disease etiology, and how certain risk …

With the rapid development of genome-wide high-throughput technologies, including
expression arrays, SNP arrays and next-generation sequencing platforms, enormous …

DNA methylation is a major form of epigenetic modification and plays essential roles in
physiology and disease processes. In the human genome, about 80% of cytosines in the 56 …

In the burgeoning field of epigenetics, there are several methods available to determine the
methylation status of DNA samples. However, choosing the method that is best suited to …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays an important role in gene
expression regulation, development, and disease. Recent technological innovations have …

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of heritable changes in gene expression without
alteration of the DNA sequence itself. This means that epigenetic variants are stable …

DNA methylation has been viewed as a stable component of the epigenome, which is
established during development and fixed thereafter. We show here using nearest neighbor …
