A puzzling modification of DNA that is typical in bacteria does not occur in humans or other mammals. This has been shown in a new study. The study shows that findings from the epigenetic marker 6mdA in animals are probably the result of limitations in technology and bacterial contamination of samples.

The researchers hope this could provide insight into the emergence of delusions in patients with psychosis or […]

This technique could help scientists develop a better understanding of the complex cell-to-cell messaging that dictates a cell’s final fate. […]
