The team of Professor Christof Niehrs at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, has discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating ...
Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...
Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that ...
Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, ...
A brief history of the term and concept epigenetics / Brian K. Hall -- Heuristic reductionism and the relative significance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution / James Griesemer -- The epigenetics ...
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...
A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...
In his book The Triple Helix, Richard Lewontin underscores the importance of integrating the contribution of genes, the organism, and the environment, if one intends to fully understand biological ...
