Multimodal profiling of human SAT cell types To investigate the cell-type-level epigenomic landscape of human SAT, we profiled DNA methylation, chromatin conformation and gene expression on nuclei isolated from SAT biopsies from Finnish females (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Note 1.1). We used snm3C-seq to simultaneously profile single-cell-level DNA methylation and chromatin conformation of nuclei isolated from five SAT biopsies (see …

Search crews get tip in Travis Decker manhunt Latest in search for Travis Decker, Army veteran suspected of killing 3 young daughters 01:56 While the search for a Washington father accused of killing his three young daughters in June continues, DNA testing has confirmed he is the only suspect in the murders, police said.

The Language Velocity Field method helps understand the dispersion of language. Credit: Nature Communication Journal / CC BY 4.0 The groundbreaking Language Velocity Field (LVF) method is helping researchers trace dispersion patterns of languages, including Greek, across the world. The spatial evolution of languages can help deepen our understanding of people diffusion and cultural spread. The language velocity field estimation …

DNA Evidence Reveals Herbivores Eat Far More Than Just Grass  SciTechDaily Source link

Think almonds are just a crunchy way to kill hunger? Think again. New research reveals that eating over 60 grams of almonds daily can do much more, like protecting your DNA and reducing oxidative stress, one of the silent culprits behind aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. Oxidative stress occurs when harmful molecules called free radicals build up in the body, …

White sharks exhibit stark differences between the DNA in their nuclei and the DNA in their mitochondria. Until now, scientists have pointed to the migration patterns of great whites to explain these differences. Scientists tested this theory in a new study by analyzing genetic differences between global white shark populations. In doing so, they discovered that great whites were restricted …

Research from scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have shed new light on an age-old question: what makes the human brain unique? The team’s discovery comes from their investigation of human-accelerated regions (HARs) — sections of the human genome that have accumulated an unusually high level of mutations as humans have evolved. There is a lot …
