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 ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

Following the surprising discovery that our genetic blueprint is much simpler than expected, we’ve rapidly learned that we ...

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 ...

Cancer, a disease with global impact, is intricately linked to dysregulated gene expression, which is influenced by both genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, including RNA modifications. A ...

Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...

OXFORD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oxford Nanopore Technologies, the company delivering a new generation of nanopore-based molecular sensing technology, today announced a new collaboration with UK ...

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 ...

One such chemical modification is cytidine acetylation (N4-acetylcytidine). Until now, the precise function of this chemical modification within cells has not been clearly understood. In particular, ...
