Applications
DNA methylation and epigenetics is revolutionizing many fields of basic, translational, and clinical research. Click below to learn about some key areas where 5mC methylation is important.
Cancer
DNA methylation patterns in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) enable non-invasive cancer detection.
Development & Reproduction
DNA methylation undergoes dramatic reprogramming during early development and in germ cells.
Systems Epigenomics
Systems epigenomics integrates genome-wide methylation data with other molecular layers to understand gene regulation at scale.
Aging and Longevity
Biological age, measured through DNA methylation patterns, often diverges from chronological age.
Single Cell Epigenetics
Single-cell methylome techniques enable high-resolution mapping of epigenetic heterogeneity.
