Deep Genomics: In the Case of DNA, the Package Can Be as Important as Its Contents, New Work With Fruit Flies Reveals
January 13, 2011 — The modENCODE project is a massive ongoing effort to map all the elements in model organisms that affect whether genes are silenced or expressed. The research is part of the burgeoning new field of ... > full story -
You Are What Your Father Ate, Too: Paternal Diet Affects Lipid Metabolizing Genes in Offspring, Research Suggests
December 23, 2010 — We aren't just what we eat; we are what our parents ate, too. That's an emerging idea that is bolstered by a new study showing that mice sired by fathers fed on a low-protein diet show distinct and ... > full story -
Breakthrough in Melanoma Research: Protein Suppresses Progression of Melanoma
December 22, 2010 — In a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for patients with malignant melanoma, researchers have discovered that a particular protein suppresses the progression of melanoma through ... > full story -
Gene Alteration Identified That Predisposes to Syndrome With High Risk of Cancer
December 21, 2010 — Researchers have identified a new genetic alteration that predisposes individuals to Cowden syndrome, a rare disorder that is characterized by high risks of breast, thyroid and other cancers, ... > full story -
Tools Used to Decipher 'Histone Code' May Be Faulty
December 16, 2010 — Recent research has found a number of issues with histone antibodies, the main tools used to decipher this code, suggesting they may need more rigorous ... > full story -
Ovarian Cancer Advances When Genes Are Silenced
December 13, 2010 — Researchers have found evidence of epigenetics at work on a genome-wide scale in cases of ovarian cancer. One major biological signaling pathway in particular was found to contain many genes ... > full story -
Personalized Molecular Therapy Shows Promising Results for People With Advanced Lung Cancer
December 9, 2010 — A new study shows that a combination of epigenetic therapy and molecular targeted therapy has promising results at combating advanced lung cancer according to new ... > full story -
Human Methylome Sequenced at Single Base-Pair Resolution
November 9, 2010 — DNA methylation plays an important role in many processes such as animal development, X-chromosome inactivation, and carcinogenesis. Understanding the mechanisms and functions of DNA methylation and ... > full story -
Mystery Solved: How Genes Are Selectively Silenced
October 18, 2010 — Cells read only those genes which are needed at a given moment, while the others are chemically labeled and, thus, selectively turned off. Scientists have now discovered how these labels are placed ... > full story -
On the Trail of the Epigenetic Code: Test System on Drosophila Should Provide the Key to Histone Function
October 11, 2010 — Test system on fruit flies should provide the key to histone function. The genetic inherited material DNA was long viewed as the sole bearer of hereditary information. The function of its packaging ... > full story
