A new epigenetic framework for DNA methylation, hydroxymethylation, and gene expression during brain aging

DNA modifications are epigenetic marks added directly to DNA bases that can stably or dynamically regulate gene expression, allowing cells to maintain their identity while also having flexibility to adapt to changes in their environment1. Aging is often thought to disrupt this regulation, causing cells to lose their id...
