Epigenetic regulation in plants encompasses a range of molecular modifications that alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence. Central to this regulation are DNA methylation ...

In recent years, scientists have shown that parents can pass down more than just their DNA sequences to their offspring; they can also pass down epigenetic marks like chemical tags or structural ...

Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics, the study of inheritance of traits that occur without changing the DNA sequence, have shown that chronological age in mammals correlates with epigenetic ...

The earliest studies of genetic inheritance were very straightforward - Gregor Mendel documented the passage of certain easily observable traits as they passed down through generations of pea plants.

Every cell within an organism shares an identical genetic blueprint. Their distinct identities stem from epigenetics, precise chemical markers that dictate gene expression. Errors in this epigenetic ...

A group of researchers shared some interesting discoveries about the existence of epigenetic clocks in plants. Pawel Czerwinski from Unsplash A group of researchers have discovered a profound ...

A research team at the University of California, Davis, has shown that cabernet sauvignon vines carry stable epigenetic ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

According to epigenetics -- the study of inheritable changes in gene expression not directly coded in our DNA -- our life experiences may be passed on to our children and our children's children.

This study sought to examine the ethical and practical questions of epigenome editing and its use for therapeutic purposes, especially in the context of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and ...
