In this workshop, learn tips and tricks for preparing cancer tissue samples for a variety of single cell applications.

Cells found in different branches of a tree have different patterns of DNA methylation, changes in which accumulate over time.

Epigenetic marks acquired from environmental exposures throughout life influence human health and may even transcend generations.

Female mice modeling the hormonal disorder can pass symptoms down for several generations, likely via changes in genome methylation that are similarly observed in women with PCOS.

Researchers repaired what is otherwise irreversible damage in the animals’ ocular neurons, by activating transcription factors ordinarily used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells.

Weill Cornell Medicine geneticist Christopher Mason speaks with The Scientist about a bolus of new work on the physiological, cellular, and molecular effects of leaving Earth.

Mice that experienced heart attacks underwent a large-scale shift in their immune systems that allowed cancer to flourish, perhaps explaining the observation in patients.

Tel Aviv University neuroscientist Oded Rechavi discusses his studies on the inheritance of acquired traits.

The Tel Aviv University researcher is interested in how the macromolecules affect the health and behavior of successive generations of worms.

Altering DNA methylation in a particular area of the hypothalamus halved the animals’ voluntary exercise as adults.

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researcher is developing cancer therapeutics based on how the physical structure of DNA contributes to the disease.

Two research groups demonstrate that in Caenorhabditis elegans, behavioral traits can be passed down through the germline to future generations, even though they aren’t hard-wired.

Mouse fathers whose sperm lacks the gene Kdm6a pass down altered methylation patterns to male offspring, along with a better chance of developing tumors and dying.

A number of rare diseases show unique epigenetic patterns across the genome, a feature researchers have now exploited to build a diagnostic tool.

Certain populations have been historically underrepresented in genome sequencing studies, but the NIH, private clinics, and 23andMe and other companies are trying to fix that.

A clock constructed of rDNA methylation sites can estimate both chronological and biological age across species.

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.
