Scientists Discover How Epigenetic Information Could Be Inherited: Mechanism of Epigenetic Reprogramming Revealed
January 24, 2013 — New research reveals a potential way for how parents' experiences could be passed to their offspring's ... > full story -
Personal Epigenetic 'Signatures' Found Consistent in Prostate Cancer Patients' Metastases
January 23, 2013 — In a genome-wide analysis of 13 metastatic prostate cancers, scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center found consistent epigenetic “signatures” across all metastatic tumors in ... > full story -
Epigenomic Abnormalities Predict Patient Survival in Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
January 10, 2013 — "Not only do we see more abnormal methylation in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients than in healthy B-cell populations, but there are three distinct subtypes of the disease in the clinic, each more ... > full story -
Dimmer Switch for Regulating Cell's Read of DNA Code
January 9, 2013 — Researchers have been studying the epigenetics enzyme HDAC3 for several years. They discovered that its activity requires interaction with a specific region on another protein called the Deacetylase ... > full story -
In Epigenomics, Location Is Everything: Researchers Exploit Gene Position to Test 'Histone Code'
January 3, 2013 — In a novel use of gene knockout technology, researchers tested the same gene inserted into 90 different locations in a yeast chromosome -- and discovered that while the inserted gene never altered ... > full story -
New Insight Into Cell Development and Cancer
December 27, 2012 — New research has shed new light on how epigenetic signals may function together to determine the ultimate fate of a stem cell. The study implicates a unique class of proteins called polycomb-like ... > full story -
Cancer Study Overturns Current Thinking About Gene Activation
December 18, 2012 — A new Australian study shows that large regions of the genome -- amounting to roughly 2 percent -- are epigenetically activated in prostate cancer. Regions activated contain many prostate ... > full story -
Prickly Holly Reveals Ability to Adapt Genetics to Environmental Change
December 12, 2012 — Prickly holly leaves are a traditional Christmas decoration, from wreaths adorning homes, to greeting card scenes. Yet, look closer at a holly tree and while some leaves are prickly, others are not. ... > full story -
Insight Into DNA Reprogramming During Egg and Sperm Cell Development
December 6, 2012 — Scientists have gained a new understanding of when and how the DNA in developing egg and sperm cells is 'reset', in preparation for making a new ... > full story -
New Evidence for Epigenetic Effects of Diet on Healthy Aging
December 6, 2012 — New research in human volunteers has shown that molecular changes to our genes, known as epigenetic marks, are driven mainly by aging but are also affected by what we eat. The study showed that ... > full story
