Imprinting disorders are a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions arising from aberrant genomic imprinting, wherein gene expression is determined by parent-of-origin-specific epigenetic ...

According to the 2016 Annual Review of Neuroscience, “the brain has emerged as a main target of genomic imprinting, generating great interest in how this epigenetic regulation provides stable ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

At the genomic level, the researchers identified over 100 regions of the genome where genetic variants influence multiple disorders simultaneously. One region on chromosome 11 stood out as a "hotspot, ...

An important factor in being human is our ability to appreciate and make music. As the authors of a paper soon to appear in Psychological Science point out: Music is a ubiquitous part of human culture ...
