epigenetics

While some pediatric brain cancers have known genetic causes, many do not. Three-dimensional profiling revealed new disease mechanisms and drug targets.

A recent effort to sequence the entire human genome also revealed how it can be modified.

Entomologists and computer engineers developed a novel imaging method for analyzing gene expression in live brains.

Not only does aging affect people differently, but it also affects their organs at varying rates too.

Aging is the ultimate Achilles heel. But researchers used cows to understand how mammals age and to look for a way to slow the effects of time.

Unlike other cells in the body that mount a strong immune response against microbial invaders, skin cells use an epigenetic mechanism to ignore most of the microbes they see. These findings reveal a potential new drug target for inflammatory skin diseases.

Twist Bioscience launches NGS methylation detection system for cancer analysis and epigenetic studies

Biobanking gives scientists access to thousands of biological samples, moving precision medicine one step closer to reality.
