Epigenetics has long been celebrated as the discipline that would finally free biology from the shackles of genetic determinism. By studying chemical modifications that regulate gene activity without ...

Epigenetics has spent the past two decades promising to rewrite the rules of biology. The idea that chemical tags sitting on top of DNA can switch genes on and off, that these tags can be shaped by ...

Researchers at the Cancer Epigenetics Institute (CEI) at Fox Chase Cancer Center have discovered how to control and stop the amplification of MYC—one of the most commonly altered cancer genes linked ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...

Every cell in an organism contains the same DNA, which carries all the instructions needed for it to function. Yet cells do ...
