Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses the role of
- -methyladenine (6mA)
- as an epigenetic mark in DNA with important functions in cellular and developmental processes, while questioning its detection in animals and mitochondria due to potential methodological errors.
- - A new
- PCR-based method
- was developed to accurately measure 6mA levels in the mitochondrial DNA of various animals (including worms and dogs) and found that these levels increase with age.
- - The study also reveals that
- mutant worms
- with impaired insulin signaling accumulate 6mA at half the rate of normal worms, indicating that 6mA may play a significant role in aging and provides a practical technique for age determination using DNA.
