BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass, strength, and function, is primarily attributable to aging. DNA methylation, influenced by both genetic predispositions and environmental exposures, plays a significant ro...
BACKGROUND: Cell free DNA (cfDNA)-based assays hold great potential in detecting early cancer signals yet determining the tissue-of-origin (TOO) for cancer signals remains a challenging task. Here, we investigated the contribution of a methylation at...
Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a rare type of metastatic cancer in which the origin of the tumor is unknown. Since the treatment strategy for patients with metastatic tumors depends on knowing the primary site, accurate identification of the orig...
Detecting aberrant cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation is a promising strategy for lung cancer diagnosis. In this study, our aim is to identify methylation markers to distinguish patients with lung cancer from healthy individuals. Additionally, we soug...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the fastest growing non-infectious disease worldwide. Impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells is a hallmark of T2D, but the mechanisms behind this defect are insufficiently characterized. Integrating multiple la...
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic, severe, and complex psychiatric disorder that affects all aspects of personal functioning. While SCZ has a very strong biological component, there are still no objective diagnostic tests. Lately, special attention ha...
BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common malignant myeloid disorder in adults and the fifth most common malignancy in children, necessitating advanced technologies for outcome prediction.
Nanopore sequencing platforms combined with supervised machine learning (ML) have been effective at detecting base modifications in DNA such as 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and N6-methyladenine (6mA). These ML-based nanopore callers have typically been tra...
N-methylcytosine (4mC) is a modified form of cytosine found in DNA, contributing to epigenetic regulation. It exists in various genomes, including the Rosaceae family encompassing significant fruit crops like apples, cherries, and roses. Previous inv...
Precision in the diagnosis of diverse central nervous system (CNS) tumor types is crucial for optimal treatment. DNA methylation profiles, which capture the methylation status of thousands of individual CpG sites, are state-of-the-art data-driven mea...
