DNA methylation is a form of epigenetics in which gene expression is encouraged or inhibited by the addition of a methyl group on cytosines. It is highly implicated in development, cell ...

Multiple fields of microbiology rely on techniques of microbial identification, such as in food microbiology for detecting contaminants, and in microbial ecology to characterize biodiversity. Image ...

The sequencing of DNA molecules started with the development of chemical cleavage method of Maxam-Gilbert during 1970s followed by di-deoxy chain termination method. However, the whole genome ...
