By using epigenetic information from just nine regions of the human genome, a new algorithm can predict the sexual orientation of males with up to…
A newly published study is the first to evaluate the effect of body weight on the biological ages of a variety of human tissues, revealing…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute reveal that a single factor can reset the immune system of mice to a state likely similar to what…
Chemical engineers from MIT have developed a new method to detect epigenetic modifications, which could offer a new way to choose the best treatment for…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute have discovered that the same evolutionary stable MOF protein that regulates X dosis in flies is also involved in…
Using genetic engineering, scientists have identified a factor that may play a significant role in autoimmune diseases. Scientists in Freiburg may have discovered a fundamental…
Researchers have decoded the genome of the elephant shark, providing new insights into immunity and bone formation. An international team of researchers, including scientists of…
A study from scientists at Lund University found that exercise induces genome-wide changes in DNA methylation in human adipose tissue, potentially affecting adipocyte metabolism. Exercise,…
In a new study, researchers from Lund University detail how they succeeded in rejuvenating the blood of mice by re-programming the stem cells that produce…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute discovered that women prefer the smell of men who have different immune gene variants than they themselves have, cracking…
Genetic diversity and long periods of time are things that are crucial for evolutionary adaptation. This made scientists wonder why invasive species, lacking genetic diversity,…
Honeybees exhibit subtle differences in their DNA, which is tied to their roles within the hive. These DNA modifications, which are normally fixed, can be…
A computational epigenetics research group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken is using software programs to rummage through the genomes of cancer…
While it’s expected that the animal kingdom is a fierce place, where aggression for survival dominates, a new study on bonobos (Pan paniscus) published in…
