Disrupting any of the three systems that contribute to epigenetic alterations can cause abnormal activation or silencing of genes. Such disruptions have been associated with cancer, syndromes ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the ...

Discover how the revolutionary field of epigenetics and the development of an epigenetic map of the human genome are paving ...

ERIL’s mission is not only to develop customized protocols but also design innovative techniques to study epigenetic alterations with the goal to fit a large variety of research needs and foster ...

Over the past two decades, substantial research has focused on the role of epigenetic alterations in CRC. It has been established that hypermethylation of promoter regions in specific genes leads ...

Colorectal cancer is typically diagnosed after age 50, but in recent years the disease has been increasingly found in younger ...

Researchers uncover a link between genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, two major contributors to aging. Their findings ...

A little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells and potentially could be used to treat solid tumors, according to a new ...
