UCLA researchers have developed a new blood test called MethylScan that could potentially detect multiple cancers at once, ...

UCLA researchers have created a blood test that can scan DNA signals for multiple cancers, liver diseases, and signs of organ damage—and even indicate where trouble may be developing. Early results ...

"DNA methylation markers hold significant promise as diagnostic tests for high-grade CIN, and cervical cancer. We found that in hrHPV positive women, several methylation markers performed well, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a novel liquid biopsy approach to identify early-stage cancers by measuring the random variation in DNA methylation patterns, ...

A urinary DNA methylation test demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer, outperforming both nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) and urine ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
