Researchers find a master epigenetic switch that activates silenced genes to compensate for their missing counterparts in a ...

Classically, quantitative geneticists have envisioned DNA sequence variants as the only source of heritable phenotypes. This view should be revised in light of accumulating evidence for widespread ...

1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top of, or in addition to, genetics. 2 The collection of epigenetic marks in a cell or organism is known as its epigenome.

Conversely, when the researchers injected mice with no history of alcohol consumption with an epigenome-altering system that increased histone methylation and reduced Arc expression, the animals ...

CRISPR epigenome editing successfully reactivates silenced genes in Prader-Willi Syndrome, highlighting potential for ...

Children exposed to second-hand smoke at home are more likely to show certain changes in the epigenome, which can alter the ...

When Inequality Is More Than 'Skin-Deep': Social Status Leaves Traces in the Epigenome of Spotted Hyenas in Tanzania Mar. 28, 2024 — A research consortium provides evidence that social behavior ...

A new version of Evo, the AI developed at the Arc Institute that can be used to design genomes as long as that of a bacterium, has been retrained with the DNA sequences of three domains of life – ...

How can two mice sharing exactly the same DNA become so different? The answer lies in the epigenome, a kind of second genome that all animals have, including humans. The epigenome dictates which ...
