The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A collaborative effort between Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...
