In this Teach Me in 10 episode, we are exploring digital PCR (dPCR) technology! We are joined by Zahid Ahmed from Roche Sequencing and Life Science, to learn about the innovative applications of dPCR in DNA methylation analysis 🧬 Watch the episode to learn: ➡️ How dPCR technology works ➡️ Why you might want to use dPCR for DNA methylation analysis ➡️ About the innovative assays for methylation status analysis | The Science Explorer

Gene expression, influenced by both DNA and epigenetics, affects emotional regulation and stress responses across generations (Meaney & Szyf, 2005). Trauma-induced epigenetic changes, such as altered DNA methylation, have been observed in descendants of Holocaust survivors (Yehuda et al., 2016) and animals exposed to fear-conditioning (Dias & Ressler, 2014). Variations in 5-HTTLPR (serotonin transport) and COMT (dopamine regulation) genes also contribute to inherited anxiety and mood disorders (
