Scientists Uncover Mechanism by Which Plants Inherit Epigenetic Modifications
September 20, 2012 — Scientists have discovered that epigenetic modifications can be inherited in pollen and that this process is guided by small RNA. By this mechanism, acquired traits can be inherited over many ... > full story -
Genome-Wide Epigenomic Screening Reveals Role of Genes, Cellular Factors in Thyroid Disease
September 20, 2012 — Genome-wide epigenomic screening can pinpoint disease-associated variants and identify novel genetic–epigenetic interactions in autoimmune thyroid diseases, according to new ... > full story -
Roles of Novel Epigenetic Chemical in the Brain Illuminated
September 17, 2012 — Researchers have identified a new role of a chemical involved in controlling the genes underlying memory and ... > full story -
How Bees Decide What to Be: Reversible 'Epigenetic' Marks Linked to Behavior Patterns
September 16, 2012 — Scientists report what is believed to be the first evidence that complex, reversible behavioral patterns in bees -- and presumably other animals -- are linked to reversible chemical tags on ... > full story -
Scientists Map the Genomic Blueprint of the Heart
September 13, 2012 — Scientists have revealed the precise order and timing of hundreds of genetic "switches" required to construct a fully functional heart from embryonic heart cells -- providing new clues into the ... > full story -
Epigenetics Emerges Powerfully as a Clinical Tool
September 12, 2012 — In a new article, experts highlight the success of epigenetics to predict the behavior and weaknesses of ... > full story -
Epigenetic Causes of Prostate Cancer: Researchers Observe Modified Methylation Patterns in a Group of Prostate Cancers
September 5, 2012 — In about half of all prostate tumors, there are two genetic areas that are fused with one another. When this is not the case, the exact way cancer cells originate in prostate tumors was not clear ... > full story -
Selective Imprinting: How the Wallaby Controls Growth of Its Young
August 27, 2012 — Marsupial mothers regulate the composition of their milk so that it is optimal for the development stage of their young. New research shows that, similar to the human placenta, which regulates ... > full story -
Histone-Modifying Proteins, Not Histones, Remain Associated With DNA Through Replication
August 23, 2012 — A study of Drosophila embryos found that parental methylated histones are not transferred to daughter DNA. Rather, after DNA replication, new nucleosomes are assembled from newly synthesized ... > full story -
Archived Guthrie Cards Find a New Purpose
August 22, 2012 — Over the last 50 years, the spotting of newborn's blood onto filter paper for disease screening, called Guthrie cards, has become so routine that since 2000, more than 90% of newborns in the United ... > full story
