DNA restriction-modification enzymes are enzymes involved in DNA restriction modification. They include DNA restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) and their companion modification methylase ...
An important DNA modification is methylation, or the addition of a methyl group to the 5th carbon of cytosine. This forms 5-methylcytosine (5mC), typically associated with repression of gene ...
Emory geneticists have been studying methylation of the DNA letter A (adenine). It appears more in the mouse brain under conditions of stress, and may have a role in neuropsychiatric disorders. With ...
A research group led by the University of Osaka has discovered that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a crucial role in protecting the developing brain from harmful mutations. The study found that a ...
Scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) and collaborating institutions have developed a DNA-editing method that introduces small chemical modifications at ...
