DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic ... and a range of birth defects that appear to be caused by defective imprinting mechanisms (Robertson, 2005). The results of these studies will ...

Despite what we know about gene imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, DNA methylation, and the various transcription factors involved, much needs to be discovered before we can fully explain any ...

Some of these methylation changes are caused by genetic differences in genomic sequence of DNA, while others are due to parental imprinting—a mechanisms for expression of specific genes only ...

“ […] methylation entropy is measuring different properties of a locus compared to mean methylation and CHALM, and that loci ...

Epigenetics refers to information in the human genome other than that in the DNA sequence. The field of epigenetics ... of research on the effects of the early environment on imprinting methylation in ...

This is published in Nature Communications in the paper, “Atlas of imprinted and allele-specific DNA methylation in the human body.” “Genomic imprinting is set early during development ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 3, on March 12, 2025, titled "DNA methylation entropy is a biomarker for aging." ...

A well-studied DNA methylation-based phenomenon is genomic imprinting (ie, genotype-independent parent-of-origin effects). Objective We aimed to elucidate: (1) the effect of exercise on DNA ...
