The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researcher is fueled by curiosity about how one species’ genome can produce a wide variety of traits.

Using CRISPR and other tools, scientists are modifying DNA methylation, histone marks, and other modifiers of gene expression to understand how they affect health and disease.

Fluoxetine dampened stress responses in zebrafish embryos exposed to the drug—and their descendants.

Newly developed techniques could propel a field already advancing rapidly to complement modern medicine.

Identifying the molecular interactions that occur all over the body during exercise could reveal how it affects learning and memory.

As researchers unravel the molecular machinery that links exercise and cognition, working out is emerging as a promising neurotherapy.

Male rodents exposed to nicotine had changes in sperm genome methylation and produced pups and grandpups with abnormal behavior.

Methylation patterns at so-called metastable epialleles in the genome stamp a memory into each of our cells.

A new study reports that immune memory may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.
