Synopsis of Social media discussions

The collection demonstrates mixed attitudes toward the publication, with posts like '@DOGE' criticizing DNA methylation in relation to societal issues, expressing strong distrust, while others, like 'DNA Methylation and Its Basic Function', simply reference the research without detailed commentary. The tone varies from concern to dismissiveness, reflecting a general skepticism about the scientific and ethical implications of methylation studies.

A
Agreement
 Low agreement

Most posts express skepticism or concern about the implications of DNA methylation research, indicating a tendency towards disagreement or distrust.

I
Interest
 Moderate level of interest

The discussions show moderate interest, with some comments engaging with the research or its applications, but many posts focus on moral or social issues rather than scientific details.

E
Engagement
 Low engagement

The level of engagement varies; some posters mention specific mechanisms or criticize practices, but others dismiss the topic or simply share opinions without deep analysis.

I
Impact
 Neutral impact

The overall influence of these discussions seems limited, as many posts are driven by emotional reactions or controversy rather than new scientific insights.

Genes Influencing Longevity and the Role of DNA Methylation

Genes Influencing Longevity and the Role of DNA Methylation

DNA methylation, an epigenetic process adding methyl groups to DNA, influences gene expression and impacts aging. This dynamic process is crucial during development and in neurons, with disturbances linked to neuropsychiatric disorders and cognitive decline.

DNA Methylation in Development and Neurological Function

DNA Methylation in Development and Neurological Function

DNA methylation is an epigenetic process affecting gene expression, with dynamic changes during development. In the nervous system, methylation influences neuron function and responses to environmental stimuli, impacting cognitive health and disease.

    @DOGE Thank you! The things they've been doing to the youth in America & the world is abominable. Please stop the clinical trials & Illumina studies as well because they are using them to justify DNA methylation. They're adding methyl molecules to their DNA. https://t.co/toG2dui3wK https://t.co/whNjjL4dHo

    Finally, what you've all been waiting for - what was the most read @npp_journal in 2023? It's a classic from Lisa Moore, Thuc Le, & Guoping Fan, originally published in 2012: "DNA Methylation and Its Basic Function" https://t.co/UL9J4IRr3x https://t.co/s83wYagg8W

    @MattWalshBlog They know it's a psychiatric problem they've initiated by asking questions about gender identity to create the dysphoria. They don't care if they're maimed by the surgeries, they want to use their methods of collecting patent royalties. https://t.co/toG2duhvHc

    @DeryaTR_ @Acemi_Borsa_ 4. Gen denilen şey DNA dizisi içinde tek başına fonksiyonel bir anlamı olan kısımdır. Geni bir kitaptaki (tüm genetik kodumuz) anlamlı tek bir cümle gibi düşünürsek metilasyon işlemi de bu cümleyi aktif pasif yapmaya yarar. https://t.co/64pGaYiV6t

Abstract Synopsis

  • DNA methylation is an epigenetic process in mammals where a methyl group is added to cytosine bases in DNA, influencing gene expression by either recruiting repressive proteins or blocking transcription factor binding.
  • During development, DNA methylation patterns change dynamically through processes of methylation and demethylation, resulting in stable, tissue-specific patterns that regulate gene transcription in differentiated cells, including neurons.
  • In the nervous system, even mature neurons maintain DNA methylation machinery that responds to activity and environmental stimuli, and disturbances in methylation patterns are linked to cognitive impairments and neuropsychiatric disorders, making it a key focus for potential therapies.]
