Social epigenetics: a science of social science? [PDF]

, 2016
Epigenetics has considerable potential to transform social science by embedding mutually regulative reciprocal connections between biological and social processes within the human activities it studies. This paper highlights common epigenetic methods and

Reminiscences on the honeybee genome project and the rise of epigenetic concepts in insect science

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 444-456, October 2024.
The honeybee genome project was an important milestone in social insect research that opened new possibilities for the community's quest to study social evolution at molecular and cellular levels. Among new lines of research, the epigenomic modifications to DNA, histones and RNAs gained special prominence as potential drivers of phenotypic and ...

Patterns of Reliability: Assessing the Reproducibility and Integrity of DNA Methylation Measurement

Patterns, 2020
Summary: DNA methylation plays an important role in both normal human development and risk of disease. The most utilized method of assessing DNA methylation uses BeadChips, generating an epigenome-wide “snapshot” of >450,000 observations (probe ...

Aristotle on Epigenesis [PDF]

, 2018
It has become somewhat of a platitude to call Aristotle the first epigenesist insofar as he thought form and structure emerged gradually from an unorganized, amorphous embryo. But modern biology now recognizes two senses of “epigenesis”.

Man and embryo: Historicizing ideas about humanity in the study of reproduction, 18th–19th centuries

Sociology Lens, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 329-347, September 2024.
Abstract This article is concerned with historicizing the idea that all people belong to a single collective of biological human beings. It analyzes implications and changes in the concept of “Man” over the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the study of reproduction and embryos.

EEG functional connectivity as a Riemannian mediator: An application to malnutrition and cognition

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 45, Issue 7, May 2024.
This study introduces a novel mediation analysis approach using EEG cross‐spectra to investigate whether malnourishment affects children's cognitive performance. The results indicate that brain function across delta, theta, alpha, and beta band frequencies mediates the impact of malnourishment on cognitive performance in specific brain regions ...

Differential expression of conserved germ line markers and delayed segregation of male and female primordial germ cells in a hermaphrodite, the leech helobdella. [PDF]

, 2013
In sexually reproducing animals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are often set aside early in embryogenesis, a strategy that minimizes the risk of genomic damage associated with replication and mitosis during the cell cycle.
