Discover how a maternal diet can influence the development of the genome, revealing the scientific basis for prenatal ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Salt stress remains a critical challenge for plant growth, especially in crops like pea (Pisum sativum L.). This study explores the role of histone modifications in regulating pea's response to salt ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene expression that are not caused by alterations in the DNA sequence, has emerged as a key player in the development and severity of type 2 diabetes. Epigenetics ...

Our group has contributed to the molecular and functional understanding of histone mark and DNA methylation mark readout by writer, reader and eraser proteins, as well as investigated the crosstalk ...

During the process of metastasis, tumor cells inevitably encounter the stimulation of various oxidative stressors, resulting in the fluctuation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...
