Researchers led by the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, have checked the performance of a noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Findings indicate that ...

The six-month pilot is designed to evaluate the potential scalability of bringing physician-ordered, blood-based OkaiDx laboratory-developed ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

Researchers working on blood-based cancer screening have reached a threshold that could change how early-stage tumors are ...

Prevalence of androgen receptor ligand-binding domain mutations (AR-LBDm) in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) versus tissue biopsies in participants (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has detailed the development of a machine learning model to predict DNA methylation status in cell-free DNA by its fragmentation patterns, according to findings published ...

A noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer. A urinary DNA methylation test displayed superior sensitivity for ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification in which a methyl group is added to a DNA base without changing the underlying DNA sequence. In mammals, the best-known form is 5-methylcytosine (5mC), ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...
