Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome ...

Can reprogramming our genes make us young again? A breakthrough in longevity research may be nearing its first human trials.

Conversely, when the researchers injected mice with no history of alcohol consumption with an epigenome-altering system that increased histone methylation and reduced Arc expression, the animals ...

MARCH 5, 2025 — A $2.7 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation will propel the work of a UTSA professor studying how ...

How can two mice sharing exactly the same DNA become so different? The answer lies in the epigenome, a kind of second genome that all animals have, including humans. The epigenome dictates which ...

2 The collection of epigenetic marks in a cell or organism is known as its epigenome. “Epigenetics is the layer of control that sits on top of the DNA sequence itself, and it's what dictates if genes ...

These results "provide further evidence that early life stress influences the paternal germline epigenome and supports a possible effect in modulating the development of the central nervous system ...

When Inequality Is More Than 'Skin-Deep': Social Status Leaves Traces in the Epigenome of Spotted Hyenas in Tanzania Mar. 28, 2024 — A research consortium provides evidence that social behavior ...

Decibel Bio, a plant biotechnology company building the world’s first crop epigenetic platform, emerged from stealth today with the announcement of an oversubscribed $12M financing round from ...

For instance, in normal, healthy mice, the agouti genes are kept in the "off" position by the epigenome, which attaches methyl groups to the corresponding regions of DNA, resulting in the DNA's ...

We aim to understand how our phenotypes are formed by our genome, early life environment and stochastic events. Our focus is on the epigenome and its role as a mediator of environmental influences. By ...
