DNA Methylation is a process in which a methyl group is added to a DNA molecule, resulting in the alteration of gene expression. It is a key epigenetic mechanism that plays a role in the regulation of gene expression and is involved in a variety of biological processes, including development, differentiation, and disease. In the context of genomics, DNA methylation is used to study the regulation of gene expression, identify disease-associated genetic variants, and develop new treatments.
DNA methylation is a rapidly growing field, with a range of applications in the life sciences, including cancer research, drug discovery, and diagnostics. Companies in the DNA methylation market include Illumina, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Agilent Technologies, Merck KGaA, and QIAGEN. Show Less Read more
