New Tool Helps Researchers Link Epigenetic Modifications to Gene Expression
…A key focus of this research lies in exploring epigenetic marks, the chemical modifications made on DNA or its packaging proteins (histones) that affect gene expression without changing the DNA…
Epigenetic Test Beats Pap & HPV for Detecting Cervical Cancer
…an HPV FOCAL trial. The baseline “S5” methylation assessment used in the trial correctly identified all 8 invasive CC that developed in the 15,744 women screened. Whereas, the traditional Pap…
Epigenetics and Diet May Determine Who Becomes Queen Bee
Swords and stones might determine royalty in England, but scientists discovered that in honeybees, the deciding factor may be epigenetics. A recent study suggests that histone modifications, including histone methylation…
