The availability of the human genome sequence has opened new avenues to broaden our understanding of human biology. Certainly, this information is key to facilitating examination of the molecular ...

To adapt to dynamic light environments, plants have evolved sophisticated light-signaling mechanisms. Epigenetic ...

Females of the pair-bonded rodent species become attached to their lifelong mates following histone modifications near oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes. “It’s the first time anyone’s shown any ...

Epigenetic modifications, particularly histone covalent modifications, play a crucial role in regulating plant growth and environmental responses.

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 ...

Although epigenetic phenomena have been observed for over a century, researchers have only started to untangle their underlying mechanism and effects on gene expression. This course provides and ...
