In his book The Triple Helix, Richard Lewontin underscores the importance of integrating the contribution of genes, the organism, and the environment, if one intends to fully understand biological ...
A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...
Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...
As the human body is developing, cells have to differentiate and specialize into certain specific types of cells, so they can carry out the correct function where they are supposed to, whether they ...
