Epigenetics has been put forward as a theory why Sonny Graham fatally shot himself after receiving the heart of suicide ...

We don’t know about you, but we spend an awful lot of time thinking about these questions. We often reflect on our lives and how experiences have shaped our paths. We have been taught to consider our ...

Epigenetics is a conceptually and practically challenging area of research. However, work over the past 5 years has suggested it could be behind many of the remaining questions we have about how ...

Our genetic code is set for life, but not all genes are working at all times. The epigenetic code turns genes on and off in response to our environment. TWO WAYS TO SWITCH A GENE ON OR OFF: 1. DNA ...

Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

Wildlife conservation is a race against time — too often, a losing one. Typically, by the time scientists detect signs of species decline, populations have already collapsed. Genetic diversity is ...

There's a new buzzword going around in the world of skin care. Epigenetics, or heritable changes in gene expression, is being touted as the latest trait that can be addressed by skin-care products. It ...

Scientists may have discovered a critical clue that helps explain why polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—a hormonal condition affecting up to 13% of women of reproductive age—tends to run in families.
