Computational epigenetics [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2007
Abstract Epigenetic research aims to understand heritable gene regulation that is not directly encoded in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications modulate the packaging of the DNA in the nucleus and thereby influence gene expression.

Epigenetics [PDF]

American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, 2018
The field of Epigenetics represents the science which helps us understand the influence life has on genetic function. Research has shown that what we do, what we are exposed to, and the internal and external environments have significant influence on the output of our genes. In this article, the reader will understand how alterations in the DNA explain

Epigenetics of Aging [PDF]

Current Genomics, 2015
The best-known phenomenon exemplifying epigenetic drift (the alteration of epigenetic patterns during aging) is the gradual decrease of global DNA methylation. Aging cells, different tissue types, as well as a variety of human diseases possess their own distinct DNA methylation profiles, although the functional impact of these is not always clear.

Epigenetic regulation of adaptive responses of forest tree species to the environment [PDF]

, 2013
Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute to the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity of plant species, and may be especially important for long-lived organisms with complex life cycles, including forest trees.

Epigenetic epidemiology and alterations in type 2 diabetes and obesity

, 2022
ype 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are multifactorial and polygenic metabolic diseases. Combinations of genetic and non-genetic risk factors such as risk SNPs, age, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity increase the risk for these diseases.

Epigenetics of Sepsis

Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Recent evidence from the fields of microbiology and immunology, as well as a small number of human sepsis studies, suggest that epigenetic regulation may play a central role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. The term “epigenetics” refers to regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression but are not related to ...

Epigenetics and Lifestyle [PDF]

Epigenomics, 2011
The concept of 'lifestyle' includes different factors such as nutrition, behavior, stress, physical activity, working habits, smoking and alcohol consumption. Increasing evidence shows that environmental and lifestyle factors may influence epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation and miRNA expression.
