In mammals, DNA methylation in the form of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) can be actively
reversed to unmodified cytosine (C) through TET dioxygenase-mediated oxidation of 5mC to …

As one of the most abundant and well-studied epigenetic modifications, DNA methylation
plays an essential role in normal development and cellular biology. Global alterations to the …

Recent research efforts provided compelling evidence of genome-wide DNA methylation
alterations in aging and age-related disease. It is currently well established that DNA …

Recent research suggests that epigenetics, especially DNA methylation, plays a mechanistic
role in aging. Epigenetic clocks, which measure changes in a few hundred specific CpG …

Genetics studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have identified several risk genes that
are key regulators of synaptic plasticity. Indeed, many of the risk genes that have been …

Modification of DNA bases plays vital roles in the epigenetic control of gene expression in
both animals and plants. Though much attention is given to the conventional epigenetic …

Although DNA methylation was originally thought to only affect transcription, emerging
evidence shows that it also regulates alternative splicing. Exons, and especially splice sites …

DNA methylation provides a pivotal layer of epigenetic regulation in eukaryotes that has
significant involvement for numerous biological processes in health and disease. The …

Alternative splicing (AS) generates vast transcriptomic and proteomic complexity. However,
which of the myriad of detected AS events provide important biological functions is not well …

Dynamic DNA modifications, such as methylation/demethylation on cytosine, are major
epigenetic mechanisms to modulate gene expression in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In …
