To understand how our habits influence our genes —and more specifically, how what we eat activates genes that promote cell ...

This article explores how epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression, how their disruption drives cancer and how targeting ...

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...

For years, scientists have been fascinated with how DNA mutations impart phenotypic changes. However, epigeneticists including Andrew Pospisilik think mutations are responsible for only a portion of ...

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can significantly impact gene activity and cellular ...

Researchers published a dataset covering thousands of methylated sites from hundreds of cancer-derived cultured cells, covering many leukemias, lymphomas and myelomas, from humans and mice. With this ...

The earliest studies of genetic inheritance were very straightforward - Gregor Mendel documented the passage of certain easily observable traits as they passed down through generations of pea plants.

Multiple studies have reported associations between child health and parental or grandparental lifestyle, while a number of animal and human studies hint at connections between environmental exposures ...

Zymo Research, a global leader in next-generation sequencing (NGS), has entered a strategic partnership with biomodal, an ...
