Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a noninvasive biomarker for cell death of all organs. Deciphering the tissue origin of cfDNA can reveal abnormal cell death because of diseases, which has great clinical potential in disease detection and monitoring. D...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Rates of aging vary markedly among individuals, and biological age serves as a more reliable predictor of current health status than does chronological age. As such, the ability to predict biological age can support appropri...
Methylation is a major DNA epigenetic modification for regulating the biological processes without altering the DNA sequence, and multiple types of DNA methylations have been discovered, including 6mA, 5hmC, and 4mC. Multiple computational approaches...

The recent discovery of numerous DNA N-methyladenine (6mA) sites has transformed our perception about the roles of 6mA in living organisms. However, our ability to understand them is hampered by our inability to identify 6mA sites rapidly and cost-ef...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The standard treatment for GBM consists of surgical resection followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide. O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (...
BACKGROUND: The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repairing enzyme that has been established as an essential clinical brain tumor biomarker for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Knowing the status of MGMT met...
DNA methylation is a process that can affect gene accessibility and therefore gene expression. In this study, a machine learning pipeline is proposed for the prediction of breast cancer and the identification of significant genes that contribute to t...

There is growing evidence for the role of DNA methylation (DNAm) quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) in the genetics of complex traits, including psychiatric disorders. However, due to extensive linkage disequilibrium (LD) of the genome, it is challengin...
BACKGROUND: DNA Methylation is one of the most important epigenetic processes that are crucial to regulating the functioning of the human genome without altering the DNA sequence. DNA Methylation data for cancer patients are becoming more accessible ...
DNA N6-methyladenine (6mA) is a key DNA modification, which plays versatile roles in the cellular processes, including regulation of gene expression, DNA repair, and DNA replication. DNA 6mA is closely associated with many diseases in the mammals and...
