In plants that haven’t yet experienced stress, defence genes are mostly inactive to prevent unnecessary and costly immune ...

May 9, 2024 — A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific ...

A new study demonstrates how plants of the nightshade family produce pharmaceutically valuable compounds and how this ...

New research from the United States reveals that prolonged exposure to intense heat accelerates aging in humans by altering ...

Sustained heat takes it out of you, quite literally. Researchers have found heat accelerates ageing by changing how our ...

Critics have pointed out that, while there does appear to be evidence for some sorts of epigenetic inheritance in plants and non-human animals, it’s uncertain how much the environment really affects ...

gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), gene distribution, and variation and change in populations. Whether sensory ‘trade-offs’ between vision ...

Epigenetics is the study of molecular processes that influence the flow of information between a constant DNA sequence and variable gene expression patterns. This includes investigation of nuclear ...
