A brief history of the term and concept epigenetics / Brian K. Hall -- Heuristic reductionism and the relative significance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution / James Griesemer -- The epigenetics ...

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a complex interplay of genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and environmental factors. The initiation and progression of these cancers are influenced by ...

A random mutation in a gene can alter its function and bring about a new characteristic that can pass down for many generations, but this may not be the only way that organisms can inherit a trait.

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...
