Recent findings link DNA methylation entropy to chronological age, offering insights into epigenetic changes that could ...

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 ...

The process known as "de novo" is time-consuming ... by employing naturally occurring methylation, the process that is part ...

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." ...

For example, DNA methylation modifies gene expression without altering the nucleotide sequence. A well-studied DNA methylation-based phenomenon is genomic imprinting (ie, genotype-independent ...
