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.

STONY BROOK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) (the “Company”), a leader in polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”)-based technologies, announced that its wholly-owned ...

Despite its utility, PCR’s main limitation is that it requires precise cycles of heating and cooling to amplify DNA. The thermal cyclers that perform this operation are clunky, relatively expensive, ...

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 ...

In recent years, the study of epigenetics and its role in disease has increased dramatically. DNA methylation, which influences the ability of proteins to bind the DNA and thereby regulates gene ...

Modifications and adaptations continue to improve how we use PCR, spurring a new level of creativity in genomics hypotheses and enabling a broad versatility in applications. PCR has the speed, ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...
