Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes results in altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating ‘transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.’ Without changing the genetic code…
University of California, Santa Cruz, scientists report the creation of three crystal structures of periodic rippled beta sheets, a novel protein structure. A peculiar protein…
It’s possible that methodological and data restrictions, rather than ecosystems’ fundamental stability, are to blame for the notion that chaos is uncommon in natural populations….
Parts of the human genome now available to study for the first time are important for understanding genetic diseases, human diversity, and evolution. The first…
