Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics, the study of inheritance of traits that occur without changing the DNA sequence, have shown that chronological age in mammals correlates with epigenetic ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

Epigenetic regulation in plants encompasses a range of molecular modifications that alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence. Central to this regulation are DNA methylation ...

A group of researchers shared some interesting discoveries about the existence of epigenetic clocks in plants. Pawel Czerwinski from Unsplash A group of researchers have discovered a profound ...

In recent years, scientists have shown that parents can pass down more than just their DNA sequences to their offspring; they can also pass down epigenetic marks like chemical tags or structural ...

One of the most fascinating discoveries in biology is that cells have mechanisms for dynamically regulating genetic expression. This ability to promote or restrict the transcription of specific genes ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new way in which temperature can ...
