DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological aging. However, aberrant DNA methylation is involved in many different diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and autoimmune disease. In this article, explore what DNA methylation is and how it affects gene expression, techniques for DNA methylation sequencing, and the effect of DNA methylation on human health.DNA methylation controls gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.iStock, agsandrewWhat Is DNA Methylation?DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic DNA modification that affects…

Once the eggs have matured, the doctor removes them during an outpatient procedure. The eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks until…
