Recent research highlights a newly discovered biological signal related to epigenetic modifications in the blood, particularly DNA methylation, which might improve understanding of children's ...

Some children recover better after traumatic brain injury than others, despite appearing similarly to doctors. Looking at the ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh discovered a promising new biomarker ...

In a first for the field of epigenomics, scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have demonstrated the feasibility of studying systemic differences in DNA methylation at the population ...

In recent years, the study of epigenetics and its role in disease has increased dramatically. DNA methylation, which influences the ability of proteins to bind the DNA and thereby regulates gene ...

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on existing epigenetic marks, CLASSY3 partners with REM transcription factors that ...

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 ...

A new study from King’s College London has found that theobromine, a naturally occurring compound in cocoa, is linked to ...

Biological age tests promise insights into aging, but are they accurate or useful? What science shows about benefits, limits, ...

DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to explore the genome to learn how humans adapted to live in a wide range of ...
