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 -
Childhood Trauma Leaves Mark on DNA of Some Victims: Gene-Environment Interaction Causes Lifelong Dysregulation of Stress Hormones
December 2, 2012 — Abused children are at high risk of anxiety and mood disorders, as traumatic experience induces lasting changes to their gene regulation. Scientists have now documented for the first time that ... > full story -
Immune System Could Play a Central Role in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
November 28, 2012 — Changes in how genes in the immune system function may result in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of visual impairment in older adults. The findings are epigenetic in nature, ... > full story -
Short DNA Strands in Genome May Be Key to Understanding Human Cognition and Diseases

Newly Discovered Enzyme Important in the Spreading of Cancer
November 15, 2012 — Enzyme hunters at UiO have discovered the function of an enzyme that is important in the spreading of cancer. Cancer researchers now hope to inhibit the ... > full story -
Mutations in Genes That Modify DNA Packaging Result in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
November 11, 2012 — A worldwide group of collaborators has found that the way DNA is packaged in people with this form of muscular dystrophy may be responsible for their disease. A genetic error allows the DNA wrapping ... > full story -
Humans, Chimpanzees and Monkeys Share DNA but Not Gene Regulatory Mechanisms
November 6, 2012 — Up to 40 percent of the differences in the expression or activity patterns of genes between humans, chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys can be explained by regulatory mechanisms that determine whether and ... > full story -
New Findings on Gene Regulation and Bone Development
November 5, 2012 — The patients have single short fingers (metacarpals) and toes (metatarsals) and can be restricted in growth due to a shortened skeleton. This hereditary disease is called brachydactyly type E. Now, ... > full story -
Scientists Decode 'Software' Instructions of Aggressive Leukemia Cells
October 29, 2012 — Scientists have decoded the key "software" instructions that drive three of the most virulent forms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). They discovered ALL's "software" is encoded with epigenetic ... > full story
