Webinar: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in DevelopmentMarch 8, 2014Loyal A. Goff, Ph.D presents his research on: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in Development Abstract: Many studies are uncovering functional roles for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), yet few have been tested for in vivo relevance through genetic ablation in animal models. To investigate the functional relevance of lncRNAs in various physiological […]

DNA Methylation Reveals Your True AgeFebruary 28, 2014To the utter dismay of Hollywood actresses and men in the throes of a mid-life crises, the Epigenetic Clock has just chimed in to remind us that there really is no escaping time. A new report from Carola Weidner and team at Aachen University in Germany has just shown that, sort of like counting the rings in a […]
CRISPR-Cas, Zinc Fingers and Epigenetic Editing with Dr. Marianne RotsFebruary 27, 2014Epigenetic Editing is an emerging field that has sparked interest across a number of research groups. By using a fusion of TET we can now target specific genomic regions for demethylation in order to learn about their function and regulation. We got in touch with one of the field’s experts, Dr. Marianne Rots, commissioning editor of Clinical Epigenetics, […]
Cells Take Epigenetic Cues from Tissue Environment, TooFebruary 19, 2014A ton of time and effort has been spent recently to detail how the external environment can shape our epigenome, but now Peter Jones and company at USC show that we shouldn’t underestimate the power of our internal environment. In a new published report, the USC team found that the extracellular cues taken from the surrounding tissue […]
