Breakthrough Discovery Unveils Master Switches in Colon Cancer
April 12, 2012 — Researchers have identified a new mechanism by which colon cancer develops. By focusing on segments of DNA located between genes, or so-called “junk DNA,” the team has discovered a set of ... > full storyMore: -
Epigenetic Changes in Twins of Dieting Mothers Increases Risk of Obesity and Diabetes
April 1, 2012 — Expectant mothers might feel a little better about reaching for that pint of ice cream: New research suggests that twins, and babies of mothers who diet around the time of conception and in early ... > full story -
Key Component in Mother's Egg Critical for Survivial of Newly Formed Embryo
March 29, 2012 — Scientists have discovered that a protein, called TRIM28, normally present in the mother's egg, is essential right after fertilization, to preserve certain chemical modifications or 'epigenetic ... > full story -
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 -

Effects of Environmental Toxicants Reach Down Through Generations
March 2, 2012 — Scientists have now demonstrated that a variety of environmental toxicants can have negative effects on not just an exposed animal but the next three generations of its offspring. The animal's DNA ... > 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
