The basis of life depends upon the complex interplay of information stored in the epigenome, genome, and cellular machinery. This is thought to be the software and biological hardware. However, ...

A new study led by University of Liverpool researchers has shown that the effects of pollutants can be transmitted over many generations in water fleas and may persist long enough to influence the ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the University Hospital of Basel report a process that helps breast cancer cells implant themselves in certain places in the body. The findings suggest a way ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

In 2018, when the study of potentially modifiable genetic markers for sleep apnea was emerging, a group of researchers from Mexico published a study titled, “Dad’s snoring may have left molecular ...

(Boston) -- After the emergence of single-celled organisms some billions of years ago, nature started experimenting with how to diversify gene function without changing the sequence of the DNA, such ...

Molecular clinical genetics has focused on identifying mutations that affect patient health and how those variations can be used to increase the accuracy of diagnoses and prognoses while improving the ...

We often hear the phrase, "You are what you eat." But what if it also applied to your children—even before they're born? Research from the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) ...
