A new study finds that theobromine — a natural compound in cocoa — may help slow biological aging, offering clues to how ...

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

Machine learning models reveal that histone marks are predictive of gene expression across human cell types and highlight important nuances between natural control and the effects of CRISPR-Cas9-based ...

Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Biological age tests measure how fast your body is aging compared to your actual age. These tests rely on biomarkers tied to ...

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...

Epigenetics is the science of how your lifestyle, environment, and even emotions can alter your gene activity without ...

Insects thrive in incredibly diverse and challenging environments. While we now know that nutrient-sensing pathways, ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Occupational exposures are known contributors to oxidative stress and epigenetic alterations, but their interrelationships in highly exposed, vulnerable populations remain poorly ...

Children of mothers with T1D have a lower risk of developing T1D compared to those with fathers or siblings with T1D. DNA methylation differences at T1D susceptibility genes may explain the varied ...
