DNA chemical modifications regulate genomic function. We present a framework for mapping cytosine and adenosine methylation with the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION using this nanopore sequencer's ionic current signal. We map three cytosine variants and two adenine variants. The results show that our model is sensitive enough to detect changes in genomic DNA methylation levels as a function of growth phase in Escherichia coli.

Importance: An accurate noninvasive biomarker test is needed for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer.
Objective: To evaluate the performance of a urinary DNA methylation test (PENK methylation) and compare its diagnostic accuracy with that of the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) test or urine cytology test.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this prospective multicenter study at 10 sites in the Republic of Korea, individuals 40 years and older with hematuria undergoing cystoscopy within 3 months between March 11, 2022, and May 30, 2024, participated.

Recently, exportin gene family members have been demonstrated to play essential roles in tumor progression. However, research on the clinical significance of exportin gene family members is limited in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Pan-cancer data, ccRCC multiomics data, and single-cell sequence were included to analyze the differences in DNA methylation modification, single nucleotide variations (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs), and expression levels of exportin gene family members.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a long-term metabolic condition that presents considerable health challenges globally. As the disease progresses, the interplay between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors becomes increasingly evident, leading to complications. Epigenetics has emerged as a critical area of research, providing insights into how these factors can modify the expression and cellular behavior without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

Background: Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumor and has a very poor prognosis. Reduced expression of the MGMT gene (10q26.3), influenced primarily by the methylation of two differentially methylated regions (DMR1 and DMR2), is associated with a good response to temozolomide treatment.
