This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

Epigenetics, a term coined by Conrad H. Waddington in the early 1940s, originally described the complex molecular pathways that govern how a genotype manifests as a phenotype. Over time, this ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

If Epigenetic Circuitry Blows a Fuse, It May Be Possible to Do a Little Rewiring While epigenetic changes have been recognized for decades, recent years have witnessed an increasing appreciation of ...

Epigenetics refer to DNA modifications that may affect phenotype but don’t alter the nucleotide sequence itself. Epigenetic changes can often be passed down generations, hence the Greek prefix “epi”, ...

Epigenetics is the study of the impact of human lifestyle and environmental factors on gene expression patterns. Epigenetic changes are dynamic and reversible and inherited somatically. These changes ...

The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis even in oxygen-rich ...
