Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood ...

What Is Epigenetics? 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”, ...

Epigenetics studies heritable changes in gene expression without DNA sequence changes, involving DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, with implications for health, disease, and ...

Joint analysis of the spatial patterns of gene expression and chromatin state provide insights into how genes are regulated.

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Epigenetics plays a significant role in controlling and fine-tuning gene expression, using DNA methylation and histone modifications to determine whether genes are active or silenced.

Key advantages of epigenetic editing The data presented at ASGCT demonstrate the key advantages of epigenetic editing for multiplex gene regulation compared to Cas9-based approaches, continued Myer.

Origin-recognition complex (ORC) plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports.

Epigenetics, a mechanism for regulating gene expression, seems to offer an escape from genetic determinism, a means to transcend our innate predispositions and change who we are.
