Background: The Internet has become a pivotal resource for accessing health information globally, offering unprecedented convenience and breadth of resources. This cross-sectional study examines the implications of Internet use for health information seeking and the influencing factors among undergraduate health science students in Southwest Ethiopia.
Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from November 10 to December 10, 2023.
The marking of DNA, histones, and RNA is central to gene expression regulation in development and disease. Recent evidence links N6-methyladenosine (mA), installed on RNA by the METTL3-METTL14 methyltransferase complex, to histone modifications, but the link between mA and DNA methylation remains scarcely explored. This study shows that METTL3-METTL14 recruits the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 to chromatin for gene-body methylation.
