DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
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 ...
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.
