According to the 2016 Annual Review of Neuroscience, “the brain has emerged as a main target of genomic imprinting, generating great interest in how this epigenetic regulation provides stable ...

Some of our genes can be expressed or silenced depending on whether we inherited them from our mother or our father. The mechanism behind this phenomenon, known as genomic imprinting, is determined by ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has gained new insights into the development of kidney tumors in young children. These enable a better risk assessment and could form the basis for ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

Scientists have identified a key part of a mechanism that annotates genetic information before it is passed from fathers to their offspring. The findings shed new light on genomic imprinting, a ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...
