This annual review issue is dedicated to “Epigenetics” an emerging but fast growing field in the postgenomic era involving nonMendelian heritable changes in gene expression that are not ...

Epigenetics research holds great promise for elucidating pathways that affect the progression from environmental exposure to phenotypic expression. It will have significant implications for the ...

Created with Sketch. Epigenetics—the science of modifications in how genes are expressed—illustrates the complex interplay between “nature” and “nurture.” An individual’s environment ...

But, she cautioned, so far the theory “is not supported by any data.” Indeed, Andrea Ciani, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Padova, thinks that a variety of factors, including genes ...
