An article published in the journal Cancer Discovery describes the epigenetic properties that allow the definition of tumors and confer them their incredible ability to adapt and survive in a ...

Bricks’ of DNA, some of which have chemical tags, could one day be an alternative to storing information electronically.

One mechanism proposed to mediate both long and short term changes in neurons is epigenetics. Cells use epigenetics to modify and regulate their genome without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

Now, epigenetics is changing the game. BBC presenter Lucy Hedges explores Mongolia's Soviet history with a local historian. Michael Craig-Martin reveals the inspiration behind his spectacular ...

Using these blood samples from five years apart, Hou and her team looked at the epigenetic changes, specifically DNA ...
