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 ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests ...

As the human body is developing, cells have to differentiate and specialize into certain specific types of cells, so they can carry out the correct function where they are supposed to, whether they ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...

The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein. This absolute theory has been debunked because ...

Researchers at City St. George’s, University of London, have identified a new molecular signature that may explain why ...

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...
