Can 100-Year-Old Research Lead to the Discovery of Novel Mechanisms of Inheritance? International Team to Reevaluate and Recreate Experiments from Vienna’s Legendary Biologische Versuchsanstalt, Led ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

According to epigenetics -- the study of inheritable changes in gene expression not directly coded in our DNA -- our life experiences may be passed on to our children and our children's children.

Among genetically identical ‘agouti viable yellow’ (A vy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags – such ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

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 ...

Correlated regions of systemic inter-individual epigenetic variation (CoRSIV) target-capture bisulfite sequencing allows researchers to identify disease-associated epigenetic variation. Epigenetic ...
