The science of skin ageing has entered a transformative phase, thanks to advancements in epigenetics-the study of biological mechanisms that control gene expre ...

Researchers discovered a molecular timer that gets activated in the first days of pregnancy and influences when mice give ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Heroes, Warriors, and Martyrs—may be biologically imprinted in our DNA. Science, psychology, and epigenetics reveal the roots ...

Methylation at H3K4 promotes transcription of genes near the histone, and marking H3Q5 with a serotonin helps maintain that methylation and gene expression. Marking H3Q5 with a histamine does the ...

A typical human pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but most parents know this number is only a rough estimate. Babies are born on a seemingly unpredictable timeline, with a normal pregnancy ranging from 38 to ...

“When histone methylation erodes enough, nearby genes flip on.” When the researchers blocked KDM6B, histones near certain genes accumulated too much methylation early in pregnancy. This ...

These are chemical changes to DNA or histone proteins that do not alter the DNA sequence itself but affect how genes are expressed. Examples include DNA methylation and histone acetylation, which can ...

Dunn, recently carried out a study exploring how DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that entails the addition of a methyl group to the DNA, contributes to the well-documented relationship ...
