Mounting evidence from research on nematodes to mice indicate that a father's environment, such as what he eats or if he is ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

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

Many mysteries surround if and how both parents’ lifestyles before conception can influence their children’s health. Previous studies on metabolic conditions, like type 2 diabetes, have hinted that ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...
