Molecular insight into our own DNA is now possible, a field called personal genomics. Such approaches can let us know when we might have cancer-causing alterations in our genes. Well-known examples ...

Dynamic changes in chromatin drive gene expression programs during cellular development and contribute to pathological changes underlying disease. To date, efforts to characterize chromatin dynamics ...

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland have published a textbook on human epigenomics - the study of epigenetic modifications across the entire genome. The book is the first of its kind to ...

As is often the case in the history of science, observations that do not agree with the dominant paradigm are swept under the rug until they build up to the point where they can no longer be ignored.

Our susceptibility to disease depends both on the genes that we inherit from our parents and on our lifetime experiences. These two components -- nature and nurture -- seem to affect very different ...
