The basis of life depends upon the complex interplay of information stored in the epigenome, genome, and cellular machinery. This is thought to be the software and biological hardware. However, ...
Epigenetics, the study of non-DNA-sequence-related heredity, has transformed how we think about gene expression and replication. We now know that epigenetic marks can vary among different tissues of ...
The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...
Commonly used sequencing approaches do not capture full information from both genetics and epigenetics. Some of these may involve separate, parallel workflows and sequencing to produce full ...
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 ...
In the course of early embryonic development, pluripotent stem cells first give rise to three lineages or ‘germ layers’, which then generate all cell types, tissues and organs of the human body, e.g.
A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...
