Silence of the genes

medicalxpress.com

A molecular mechanism by which gene silencing is regulated at the genome-wide level in plants has been uncovered by a research team led by Motoaki Seki of the RIKEN Plant Science Center, Yokohama, Japan. The researchers propose that a similar mechanism may also help to protect plant genomes from ...

Breakthrough discovery unveils master switches in colon cancer

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have identified a new mechanism by which colon cancer develops. By focusing on segments of DNA located between genes, or so-called “junk DNA,” the team has discovered a set of master switches, i.e., gene enhancer elements, that turn “on and off” key genes whose altered expression is defining for colon cancers.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Clinical Epigenetics | Abstract | A macroepigenetic approach to identify factors responsible for the autism epidemic in the United States

clinicalepigeneticsjournal.com — “The number of children ages 6 to 21 in the United States receiving special education services under the autism disability category increased 91 % between 2005 to 2010 while the number of children receiving special education services overall declined by 5 %. The demand for special education services continues to rise in disability categories associated with pervasive developmental disorders. Neurodevelopment can be adversely impacted when gene expression is altered by dietary transcription factorView full resource at clinicalepigeneticsjournal.com
