Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as dengue and Zika viruses, transmit widely across the globe, posing threats to ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

Why do animals behave differently, and what are the consequences of this? A research team from the Collaborative Research ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

Scheme showing the structure of cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Adding a methyl group to the DNA base cytosine represses gene expression in mammalian cells. To remove the ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary ...

A study reveals that DNA modifications shape individual behavior, and ecological niches, while feedback from environmental ...
