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.

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

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

Emerging technologies help researchers draw mechanistic links between metabolism and epigenetic modification of DNA.

New technologies reveal the dynamic changes in mouse and human embryos during the first week after fertilization.

The switch from maternal factors involves dynamic reprogramming of the zygotic genome.
