How a Ketogenic Diet May Change Your Gene Expression
…without changing the code of our DNA. DNA is wrapped together with proteins called histones in a tightly coiled complex called chromatin. When there are spaces in the coils of…

Researchers Discover ‘Goldilocks Effect’ of Protein Bre1 Influences Epigenetic Regulation
…in cancer patients.” Strahl explained that there are important questions surrounding the exact mechanism by which histones coil up DNA into chromatin, thereby denying or enabling access to the genetic…
Book Review: Super Genes
…and perhaps consciousness can affect our biological processes. Epigenetics, which literally means “above” or “on top of” genetics, refers to the external modifications that are made to DNA which can…
Epigenetics Explains Increased Drug Resistance in Malaria Parasite
…Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications made to DNA that alter gene expression but do not change the underlying DNA sequence. Many important biological processes involve epigenetic regulation, including those that…
Transposase-Accessible Chromatin Assay for Fast and Sensitive Epigenomic Profiling
…of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins, individual nucleosomes and chromatin compaction at nucleotide resolution. By using ATAC-seq, the scientists discovered classes of DNA-binding factors that strictly avoided, could tolerate, or tended…
Researchers Reveal Why Some Cancers Override HDAC Inhibitor Drugs
…switched on or off via molecular tags that attach to DNA and transfer signals to tell the cell how to arrange the DNA. HDAC inhibitors are drugs that lead to…
Artificial Intelligence and GPT-Powered Skin Epigenetics: Applications in Personalized Skincare
Epigenetics refers to the modifications of DNA by adding chemical tags, which switch genes on and off without altering the underlying DNA sequence. This process, known as epigenetic regulation, occurs…
Epigenetic Pathway Found in Ants May Help Explain Human Social Life
…coiled; modifying them usually involves adding or subtracting functional groups that change the coiling of the DNA, and therefore affects how ‘accessible’ DNA is to the rest of the cell—…
Nervous System’s Glial Cells May Epigenetically Respond to Stress
…thinner compared to that of the resilient mice. The team found reduced levels of histone methylation in the irregular cells, indicating the epigenetic modification may be responsible for the impaired…
Epigenetic Enzyme Could Play a Role in Reducing Fat as We Age
…and it plays an important role in countless cellular processes. This and other epigenetic enzymes erase histone methylation marks, which impact the structure of chromatin and therefore change gene expression….
