Epigenetic Changes in Blood Samples May Point to Schizophrenia
March 27, 2012 — Researchers have identified epigenetic changes – known as DNA methylation – in the blood of patients with schizophrenia. The researchers were also able to detect differences depending on ... > full story -
Tiny Reader Makes Fast, Cheap DNA Sequencing Feasible
March 26, 2012 — Researchers have devised a nanoscale sensor to electronically read the sequence of a single DNA molecule, a technique that is fast and inexpensive and could make DNA sequencing widely ... > full story -
Cancer Epigenetics: Breakthrough in Identifying Target Genes
March 13, 2012 — Cancer is usually attributed to faulty genes, but growing evidence from the field of cancer epigenetics indicates a key role for the gene "silencing" proteins that stably turn genes off inside the ... > full story -
Exercise and Caffeine Change Your DNA in the Same Way, Study Suggests
March 6, 2012 — When healthy but inactive men and women exercise for a matter of minutes, it produces a rather immediate change to their DNA. Perhaps even more tantalizing, the study suggests that the caffeine in ... > full story -
R-Loops Break Down Gene Silencing
March 2, 2012 — Researchers have figured out how the human body keeps essential genes switched "on" and silences the vast stretches of genetic repeats and "junk" ... > full story -
Inherited Epigenetics Produced Record Fast Evolution
February 29, 2012 — The domestication of chickens has given rise to rapid and extensive changes in genome function. Scientists have established that the changes are heritable, although they do not affect the DNA ... > full story -
Eat Your Broccoli: Another Mechanism Discovered by Which Sulforaphane Prevents Cancer
February 28, 2012 — Researchers have discovered yet another reason why the "sulforaphane" compound in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables is so good for you -- it provides not just one, but two ways to prevent ... > full story -
Childhood Adversity Causes Changes in Genetics
February 27, 2012 — A new article finds epigenetic effect of psychological difficulty in childhood on an important regulator of stress response. The research may help explain a biological link between adversity in youth ... > full story -
Common Flame Retardant Linked to Social, Behavioral and Learning Deficits
February 16, 2012 — Mice genetically engineered to be susceptible to autism-like behaviors that were exposed to a common flame retardant were less fertile and their offspring were smaller, less sociable and demonstrated ... > full story -
Gene Regulator in Brain's Executive Hub Tracked Across Lifespan
February 2, 2012 — Scientists have tracked the activity, across the lifespan, of an environmentally responsive regulatory mechanism that turns genes on and off in the brain's executive hub. Genes implicated in ... > full story
