Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

Can 100-Year-Old Research Lead to the Discovery of Novel Mechanisms of Inheritance? International Team to Reevaluate and Recreate Experiments from Vienna’s Legendary Biologische Versuchsanstalt, Led ...
