In a post-hoc study of 777 Swiss participants, 1 g of omega-3 daily slowed aging on three of four DNA methylation clocks -- ...

Not all genes are active at all times. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression. This straightforward experiment demonstrated that it was ...

A clinical trial reveals that omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise can slow biological aging, with combined interventions showing ...

Dunn, recently carried out a study exploring how DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that entails the addition of a methyl group to the DNA, contributes to the well-documented relationship ...

There are three different types of DNA methylation in plants: CG, CHH (where H is any base except G), and CHG. In Arabidopsis, CG methylation is found on some genes, but primarily on repeat sequences ...

In early embryogenesis, DNA is largely devoid of methylation (top left). Post implantation, de novo methylation begins (red circles), mediated primarily by DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase ...

Epigenetic clocks that quantify rates of aging from DNA methylation patterns across the genome have emerged as a potential biomarker for risk of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ...

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.

DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism in which a methyl group is added onto a nucleotide, commonly cytosine. DNA methylation affects many biological processes, including gene ...

Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve in the training and test sets. The area under this curve (AUC: 0.969) shows ...
