…a role in DNA demethylation, chromatin remodeling, and brain-specific gene regulation. Because of the presence of 5-hmC in DNA with unclear functions in gene regulation and the discovery of the…
…and 13. DNA methylation was significantly different across numerous sites on the DNA of a child who later went on to develop early-onset CP compared to those who did not….
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…
…gene expression and DNA replication – processes necessary for division and cell growth – cannot occur. With histone modification, however, the addition of an acetyl-group can loosen the DNA, allowing…
…by taking an epigenetic look at how alcohol and exercise affect the brain. Specifically, they looked at alcohol-induced epigenetic and molecular changes that cause cerebrovascular dysfunction, and whether or not…
Could eating less carbohydrates and more fat relax DNA and boost mental function? Researchers found that a ketogenic diet – consuming high amounts of fat, adequate protein, and low carbohydrates…
…X-linked genes in female cells. In fact, the equalization of X-linked gene expression between males and females is so effective (and so selected) that dysregulation of the process is lethal….
…the dosage used to treat leukemia and without significant side effects.” When urine is highly concentrated, magnesium and calcium can crystallize and accumulate which leads to kidney stones. The pain…
…which are precursors to sperm in males and eggs in females, from zebrafish embryos and used bisulfite sequencing to characterize DNA methylation across the entire genome. In zebrafish, the father’s…
…as 11 different genomic regions. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that does not change the actual DNA sequence, but affects the DNA’s physical exposure and therefore its accessibility to…
