Scientists at Cambridge have unveiled a fascinating mechanism where fetuses use a paternal gene to control the mother's ...

Bi-parental reproduction is necessary because of parent-specific epigenetic modification of the genome during gametogenesis. This leads to unequal expression of imprinted genes from the maternal and ...

Can a kind of genetic favoritism explain why some people carry disease-causing mutations, but do not have a disease? | Genetics And Genomics ...

The search for disease genes on human chromosome 14 has also been achieved by exploiting the human-mouse comparative maps. Research on uniparental disomy and on the search for imprinted genes has ...

Bad memory? Poor sleep habits? These inherited traits may come from your parents. But who's to blame? Here's what the science ...

or the sex-specific reprogramming of imprinted genes expression (12). Although sex hormones undoubtedly play an important role in the sexual differentiation of the brain, other mechanisms may be ...

Expression of this gene comes from both parents. A very small number of genes, however, are imprinted, meaning expression comes from only one copy of the gene, and is determined by the parent who ...

In today's interview, we speak to Christopher Murgatroyd about early life stressors and their impact on health outcomes in later life.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight ...
