Epigenetic marks laid down during the cold months of the year allow flowering in spring and summer.
Did Erasmus Darwin foreshadow the tweaking of his grandson’s paradigm?
Epigenetic events regulate the activities of genes without changing the DNA sequence. Different genes are expressed depending on the methyl-marks attached to DNA itself and by changes in the structure and/or composition of chromatin. The main compone
Research in behavioral epigenetics is seeking evidence that links experience to biochemistry to gene expression and back out again.
Joachim Messing talks about how genomic imprinting may be a strong driver of diversity.
A Duke University researcher survives a sticky situation at a federal research institution to make major strides in determining the genetic roots of Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance.
