DNA phosphorothioate modification is a distinctive epigenetic alteration in which a non‐bridging oxygen atom within the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Epigenetics refer to DNA modifications that may affect phenotype but don’t alter the nucleotide sequence itself. Epigenetic changes can often be passed down generations, hence the Greek prefix “epi”, ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...
