Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Study reveals how aging accelerates molecular changes in the brain, offering new hope for tackling cognitive decline and mental illness. Resource: Single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling of human ...

Researchers have identified specific coupled patterns of brain activity and gene expression that help explain impulsive ...

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Cystic fibrosis represents one of the most common inherited genetic disorders affecting people of European descent, touching the lives of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone.

Nearly 7 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and this number is predicted to double by 2060. While aging and genetic predisposition are the most important risk factors for Alzheimer's, ...

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that the biological underpinnings of autism and ADHD may transcend traditional diagnostic boundaries. While there is increasing appreciation that ...
