Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

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 ...

Energy deficiencies and inflammation may cause warming-related mortality in Pacific cod larvae.     A new study used gene ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

It could be simply to control gene expression." The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of ...

A gene expression program executed by neutrophils and a corresponding biomarker support tumor progression across human and murine tumors.

After a lifetime in the field of epigenetics, and nearly 20 years after my colleagues and I coined the term “genome editing,” I will be the first to admit that describing the “epigenome”—a marvelous ...

A new analysis of gene expression in blood samples suggests that specific biological signs of Parkinson’s disease are detectable years before physical symptoms appear. These molecular signatures, ...

Recent research indicates that consuming high levels of dietary salt for an extended period may disrupt the delicate balance ...
