The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Epigenetics is the science of how your lifestyle, environment, and even emotions can alter your gene activity without ...

Machine learning models reveal that histone marks are predictive of gene expression across human cell types and highlight important nuances between natural control and the effects of CRISPR-Cas9-based ...

Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...

Epigenetic editing is a promising method for gene regulation in vitro and in vivo, allowing precise control of gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, thereby minimizing genotoxic risks.

Six epigenetic features define the new Epigenetic Hallmarks of Cancer, an add-on to the widely accepted Hallmarks of Cancer. Scientists concluded that malignant transformation requires some degree of ...

Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, ...

Cancer mortality has just surpassed cardiovascular disease for the first time ever and one in two men, and one in three women, will be diagnosed with some form of the disease in the US, according to ...
