A team of genetic engineers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, working with a colleague from Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia, has demonstrated transgenerational epigenetic ...

Our lab studies the epigenetics of complex traits: how genomes are packaged into chromatin, how chromatin landscapes are passed from one generation to the next, and how this transgenerational ...

Evidence is mounting that epigenetic marks on DNA can influence future generations in a variety of ways. But how such phenomena might affect large-scale evolutionary processes is hotly debated. The ...

This year’s stories highlight the expanding versatility of genetic techniques and the increasing utility of such research in all life science fields. Our Favorite Genetics Stories of 2022 Our Favorite ...

Researchers have discovered a gene responsible for prenatal death when critical epigenetic instructions are missing from egg cells. The study shows that in mice, failed epigenetic suppression of an ...

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.

In a recent study published in Addiction Biology, authors explored the mechanisms of cannabinoid-induced mitochondrial stress, micronuclear formation, and genotoxic damage and their implications for ...
