PULLMAN, Wash. - Alterations in the epigenetic programming of hatchery-raised steelhead trout could account for their reduced fertility, abnormal health and lower survival rates compared to wild fish, ...

UA researcher Keith Maggert wants to change the way you think about epigenetics. With a recent grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he plans to further investigate a theory that has the ...

In a story of collaboration and community, researchers identified intergenerational epigenetic changes caused by war and trauma in Syrian refugees. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...

Is homosexuality genetic? It's a long-running debate. Now researchers say they've found a clue that may unlock the mystery. It lies in something called epi-genetics -- how gene expression is regulated ...

The team looked in different regions of the brain, which are affected in Alzheimer's disease before looking for common changes across these cortical regions. They identified 220 sites in the genome, ...

Early results from a larger, ongoing study led by environmental health scientist Richard Pilsner at the University of Massachusetts Amherst suggest that phthalate levels in expectant fathers have an ...

Fathers exposed to high stress in childhood had different epigenetic markers that may affect their offspring, though more research is needed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Your life story depends upon a combination of the DNA you’re stuck with plus your environment, including all the little choices and events that happen over that lifetime. But in recent years, ...
