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

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.

Environmental epigenetics and climate change [PDF]
, 2022 Epigenetics co-evolved with deoxyribonucleic acid sequence as the molecular mechanism to regulate gene expression and chromatin structure and provide the conduit for the environment to influence biology and evolution.

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.

Environmental Epigenetics [PDF]
, 2015 With over 350 journals, Oxford University Press is one of the largest publishers of scientific journals. In considering their portfolio recently, they realized they had no specific journals in the rapidly growing area of epigenetics. When they approached

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.

Novel DNA methylation profiles associated with key gene regulation and transcription pathways in blood and placenta of growth-restricted neonates [PDF]
, 2015 Fetal growth is determined by the feto-placental genome interacting with the maternal in utero environment. Failure of this interplay leads to poor placental development and fetal growth restriction (FGR), which is associated with future metabolic ...

Epigenetics and depression [PDF]
Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2019 The risk for major depression is both genetically and environmentally determined. It has been proposed that epigenetic mechanisms could mediate the lasting increases in depression risk following exposure to adverse life events and provide a mechanistic framework within which genetic and environmental factors can be integrated.
