DNA methylation plays an essential role in regulating cell growth and proliferation, and
disease. Changes in aberrant DNA methylation are disease-specific, and, accordingly, the …

In the field of genetics, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression without any
change in DNA sequences. Chemical base modification in DNA by DNA methyltransferase …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) are promising candidates
for numerous applications in consumer products. This will lead to increased human …

Drosophila melanogaster lacks DNMT1/DNMT3 based methylation machinery. Despite
recent reports confirming the presence of low DNA methylation in Drosophila; little is known …

This paper reports a sequence-specific immunoassay chip for DNA methylation assessment
by microfluidic-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection. This was achieved by …

We report the sequence-selective discrimination of the cytosine methylation status in DNA
with anti methylcytosine antibody for the first time. This was realized by employing an affinity …

A novel TiO2-based SPE strategy was developed for eliminating normal ribonucleosides
before mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of 2′-deoxynucleosides and 2′-O-modified …

Marine extremophiles are shown to tolerate extreme environmental conditions and have
high metal reducing properties. Here, we report intracellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles …

Background Control of cellular processes by epigenetic modification of cytosine in DNA is
widespread among living organisms, but, is hitherto unknown in the extremely radioresistant …

The determination of epigenetic modification, especially that of 5-methylcytosine in the CpG
sequence in mammals, has attracted attention because it should prove valuable in a wide …
