Methylation analysis holds significant promise for clinical diagnostics, yet its use has been limited due to challenges posed by legacy technologies that undermine clinical applicability, such as ...

The race for early cancer detection is one that physicians have been running for millennia. In one of humanity’s oldest surviving medical texts, the ancient Egyptian physician Imhotep described 46 ...

Researchers at Emory University have identified distinct patterns of DNA methylation in Indigenous Andean highlanders that ...

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.

MyOme, a leader in clinical whole-genome analysis, announced an advancement in rare disease diagnostics at the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Annual Meeting. By integrating ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Genetic research across multiple studies now points to a clear pattern: populations living in the Andes highlands for ...

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 ...

IDT's suite of NGS innovations aim to tackle longstanding bottlenecks in library preparation, targeted enrichment, and whole genome analysis.
