The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Among the most widely used tools today to measure the deterioration of the organism over time are the so-called "epigenetic clocks." Epigenetics refers to the chemical modifications that accumulate in ...

Researchers assessed DNA methylation at 800,000 sites in the genome in blood samples collected from 900 people. The study includes extensive clinical information on participants, who all provided ...

Fifty years after the discovery of DNA’s structure, genes remain crucial to understanding complex diseases. Indeed, epigenetics – the study of mechanisms for changing the way a cell develops without ...
