Study Pinpoints Epigenetic Function of Common Cancer-Causing Protein: It's Not What Science Thought
September 26, 2012 — "This is a potent oncogene whose mechanism we thought we knew. But basically in this paper we demolish the accepted model. DNp63a doesn't work through p53 – it operates through epigenetic ... > full story -
Making and Breaking Heterochromatin
September 25, 2012 — To fit the two-meter long DNA molecule into a cell nucleus that is only a few thousandths of a millimetre in size, long sections of the DNA must be strongly compacted. Epigenetic marks maintain these ... > full story -
Epigenetics: Mother's Nutrition -- Before Pregnancy -- May Alter Function of Her Children's Genes
September 20, 2012 — A pregnant mom's diet affects her child's health. Now, new research in mice suggests that what mom ate before pregnancy is also important. The diets of female mice before pregnancy chemically altered ... > full story -
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 -
Missing Pieces of DNA Structure Is a Red Flag for Deadly Skin Cancer
September 13, 2012 — Researchers have discovered a new biomarker for melanoma. The findings offer novel opportunities for skin cancer diagnostics, treatment and ... > 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
