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 -
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 -
Human-Chimp Genetic Differences: New Insights Into Why Humans Are More Susceptible to Cancer and Other Diseases
August 23, 2012 — Ninety-six percent of a chimpanzee's genome is the same as a human's. It's the other 4 percent, and the vast differences, that has intrigued researchers. For instance, why do humans have a high risk ... > 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 -
Molecular 'Movies' May Accelerate Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery
