Epigenetic profiling to environmental stressors in model and non-model organisms: Ecotoxicology perspective [PDF]

Environmental Health and Toxicology, 2018
Epigenetics, potentially heritable changes in genome function that occur without alterations to DNA sequence, is an important but understudied component of ecotoxicology studies.

Cancer Epigenetics

CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 2010
Epigenetics refers to stable alterations in gene expression with no underlying modifications in the genetic sequence and is best exemplified by differentiation, in which multiple cell types diverge physiologically despite a common genetic code. Interest in this area of science has grown over the past decades, especially since it was found to play a ...

Stress related epigenetic changes may explain opportunistic success in biological invasions in Antipode mussels [PDF]

, 2018
Different environmental factors could induce epigenetic changes, which are likely involved in the biological invasion process. Some of these factors are driven by humans as, for example, the pollution and deliberate or accidental introductions and others

Epigenetic control [PDF]

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2009
AbstractEpigenetics refers to mitotically and/or meiotically heritable variations in gene expression that are not caused by changes in DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms regulate all biological processes from conception to death, including genome reprogramming during early embryogenesis and gametogenesis, cell differentiation and maintenance of a ...

Nutritional Epigenetics [PDF]

ILAR Journal, 2012
Within the last two decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of gene expression as a consequence of gene-environment interactions. Nutrition, among many other environmental factors, is a key player that can induce epigenetic changes not only in the directly exposed organisms ...

Population epigenetics [PDF]

Current Opinion in Systems Biology, 2017
The field of epigenetics is maturing, with increased interest in understanding the normal regulation of the genome and the possibility that it becomes reprogrammed aberrantly as part of the cause of disease phenotypes. Applying the current technologies and insights to the study of human populations is potentially a way of understanding mechanisms and ...

Epigenetic priming of mammalian embryonic enhancer elements coordinates developmental gene networks

Genome Biology
Background Embryonic development requires the accurate spatiotemporal execution of cell lineage-specific gene expression programs, which are controlled by transcriptional enhancers.
