Will epigenetics ever be a biosocial science? A reply to Chiapperino and Paneni

Epigenetics Communications, 2023
The recent correspondence article by Chiapperino and Paneni in Clinical Epigenetics correctly points to the inability of epigenetics to incorporate fine-grained mapping data of the individual’s surrounding milieu.

Epigenetics for the 21st-Century Biology Student

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2019
Epigenetics, a rapidly emerging biological science, investigates changes in gene expression without any change to the primary DNA sequence. Epigenetics plays an important role in diverse areas, including nutritional sciences, psychology, and ...

Genetics and Epigenetics of Parkinson's Disease

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
In 1997 a mutation in the a-synuclein (SNCA) gene was associated with familial autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD). Since then, several loci (PARK1-15) and genes have been linked to familial forms of the disease.

The social construction of the social epigenome and the larger biological context

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2020
Epigenetics researchers in developmental, cell, and molecular biology greatly diverge in their understanding and definitions of epigenetics. In contrast, social epigeneticists, e.g., sociologists, scholars of STS, and behavioural scientists, share a ...
