Epigenetic Changes Shed Light on Biological Mechanism of Autism
April 23, 2013 — Scientists have identified patterns of epigenetic changes involved in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by studying genetically identical twins who differ in autism traits. The study is the largest of ... > full story -
More Accurate Markers Identified for Detecting Response to Epigenetic Drugs for Myelodysplastic Syndromes
April 7, 2013 — Researchers have identified and validated two DNA methylation markers that could help physicians to more accurately determine a patient's response to epigenetic drugs for treatment of myelodysplastic ... > full story -
New Drug Target Companion Prognostic Test for Hormone Therapy Resistance
April 1, 2013 — A team of international cancer researchers has identified the signalling pathway that is over-activated in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells that are resistant to hormone therapies such ... > full story -
New Insights Into How Genes Turn on and Off
March 27, 2013 — Researchers have shed new light on methylation, a critical process that helps control how genes are expressed. Working with placentas, the team discovered that 37 percent of the placental genome has ... > full story -

New Clues in Hunt for Heredity in Type 2 Diabetes
March 19, 2013 — Type 2 diabetes has strong hereditary tendencies and the genes we are born with cannot be changed. However, new research shows that we can modify the function of the genes through the epigenetic ... > full story -
New Sensor Developed for Methylated DNA
March 14, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new, single molecule test for detecting methylated DNA. Methylation -- the addition of a methyl group of molecules to a DNA strand -- is one of the ways gene expression ... > full story -
Epigenetics Mechanism May Help Explain Effects of Mom's Nutrition on Her Children's Health
March 11, 2013 — Pioneering studies by a molecular geneticist are helping explain how the foods that soon-to-be-moms eat in the days and weeks around the time of conception -- or what's known as periconceptional ... > full story
