Genetic and Epigenetic Control of Puberty [PDF]
Sexual Development, 2021 Puberty is a complex transitional phase in which reproductive capacity is achieved. There is a very wide variation in the age range of the onset of puberty, which follows a familial, ethnic, and sex pattern. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and several genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors play an important role in the onset of and ...

How Can Epigenetics be Used to Integrate Nature and Nurture in Genetics Education?
, 2021 This chapter advocates the incorporation of epigenetics in genetics teaching according to an integrated model bridging the apparent dichotomy between ‘nature’ and ‘nurture’, which lies at the heart of biology education.

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.

Genetics, Epigenetics, and Leukemia [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010 In this issue of the Journal, Ley and colleagues1 report that somatic mutations in a gene encoding a DNA methyltransferase, DNMT3A, are common in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They also report that these mutations are associated with discrete molecular and cytogenetic features that have prognostic significance.

Genetic, environmental and stochastic factors in monozygotic twin discordance with a focus on epigenetic differences [PDF]
, 2012 Genetic-epidemiological studies on monozygotic (MZ) twins have been used for decades to tease out the relative contributions of genes and the environment to a trait.

Interplay between Epigenetics and Genetics in Cancer [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2013 Genomic instability, which occurs through both genetic mechanisms (underlying inheritable phenotypic variations caused by DNA sequence-dependent alterations, such as mutation, deletion, insertion, inversion, translocation, and chromosomal aneuploidy) and

The genetics and epigenetics of satellite centromeres
Genome Research, 2021 Centromeres, the chromosomal loci where spindle fibers attach during cell division to segregate chromosomes, are typically found within satellite arrays in plants and animals. Satellite arrays have been difficult to analyze because they comprise megabases of tandem head-to-tail highly repeated DNA sequences.

My chat with ChatGPT concerning genetics, epigenetics, and IQ testing
, 2023 What follows is my chat with ChatGPT, we discussed genetics, epigenetics, and IQ testing, (not in that order). Though ChatGPT often repeats the status quo on this subject, I was able to get ChatGPT to admit that genetics has much less to do with IQ than ...

Can genetics guide exercise prescriptions in osteoarthritis?
Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022 Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and has a multifactorial etiology. Current management for OA focuses on minimizing pain and functional loss, typically involving pharmacological, physical, psychosocial, and mind-body interventions.

Timescales of Genetic and Epigenetic Inheritance [PDF]
Cell, 2007 According to classical evolutionary theory, phenotypic variation originates from random mutations that are independent of selective pressure. However, recent findings suggest that organisms have evolved mechanisms to influence the timing or genomic location of heritable variability.
