The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

When scientists want to trace how a species has changed over time—and predict its prospects for survival—they turn to DNA. But what if the genetic map guiding them belongs to the wrong animal? A study ...
