Epigenetic tags may not be handed down through generations, but research is unveiling new avenues to evaluate disease and the aging process. What to know: About a decade ago, research seemed to show ...

Researchers have discovered a gene responsible for prenatal death when critical epigenetic instructions are missing from egg cells. The study shows that in mice, failed epigenetic suppression of an ...

This year’s stories highlight the expanding versatility of genetic techniques and the increasing utility of such research in all life science fields. Our Favorite Genetics Stories of 2022 Our Favorite ...

Our lab studies the epigenetics of complex traits: how genomes are packaged into chromatin, how chromatin landscapes are passed from one generation to the next, and how this transgenerational ...

The earliest studies of genetic inheritance were very straightforward - Gregor Mendel documented the passage of certain easily observable traits as they passed down through generations of pea plants.
