Disease modeling is the use of a disease model, which is an animal or cells containing all or some of the pathological characteristics and mechanisms of a disease, to study that particular disease.

One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Genetic drivers of cancer can be dysregulated through epigenetic modifications of DNA. Although the critical role of DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in the regulation of transcription is recognize...
