Prenatal Environmental Exposures, Epigenetics, and Health with Dr Frederica PereraSeptember 9, 2011Dr. Frederica Perera touches on how the environment around us can make a big impact very early in life and stick with us for a long time. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility held in March 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. Environmental Exposures […]
Human Transgenerational Responses with Dr Marcus PembreySeptember 9, 2011Dr. Marcus Pembrey provides a nice background on his experiences with imprinting and how it might provide a means for transgenerational adaptation. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility held in March 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. Interview Transcript I’m a chemical geneticist, […]
Imprinted Genes and Fetal Growth with Dr Gudrun MooreSeptember 8, 2011Dr. Gudrun Moore discusses her studies of key genes involved with fetal growth and their regulation. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility held in March 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. Imprinted Genes and Fetal Growth As I am fundamentally interested in looking […]
Early-Life Stress, Epigenetics, and Disease with Dr Patrick McGowanSeptember 8, 2011Dr. Patrick McGowan discusses how stresses early in life can potentially impact epigenetic mechanisms and disease susceptibility. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility held in March 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. Environmental Influences on Developmental Programming Well epigenetics is really central to the […]
Epigenetics in Evolution with Dr Eva JablonkaMarch 13, 2011Dr. Eva Jablonka discusses the role of epigenetics in evolutionary biology. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility held in March 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. Epigenetics in Evolution Well, what I’m doing really is theoretical work, and I’m mainly interested in the evolutionary […]
EpiGenie Interview: Dr. Randy Jirtle on Environment EpigenomicsMarch 10, 2011We caught up with Dr. Randy Jirtle to hear more about his transition from nuclear engineer to imprinting guru and chief publicist for Agouti mice. Dr. Jirtle is a co-organizer for the epigenetics star-studded Keystone Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility Meeting that kicks off March 27th, 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina. In the interview he […]
Non-Coding RNAs in EpigeneticsMarch 30, 2010We interviewed John Mattick a few years back as we were getting ready to launch EpiGenie, but couldn’t manage to get the transcripts all edited and ready for show time. So, when we ran accross this interview in what was Invitrogen’s Quest magazine we were excited, then bummed because we didn’t run it first, then […]
Targeted Bisulfite Sequencing with Padlock ProbesDecember 8, 2009A rising star in the epigenetics field, Dr. Kun Zhang joined the UCSD faculty in 2007 after a post-doc with George Church at Harvard. Engaging in a little friendly competition with his former mentor, Zhang published a technique for targeted bisulfite sequencing using padlock probes (Nat. Biotechnol. 2009, 27, 353) at the same time the […]
Dr. Adrian Bird: Interview With A Pioneer in Methylated DNAOctober 21, 2009One of the things we enjoy most at EpiGenie is chatting with the researchers who are driving epigenetics forward. So, naturally we were stoked to come across an interview with Dr. Adrian Bird in PLoS Genetics. Adrian Bird is the Buchanan Chair of Genetics at the University of Edinburgh and is also Director of the […]
Sorting Out Epigenetic Marks NanostyleSeptember 7, 2009Cornell molecular geneticist Paul Soloway wants to know where epigenetic marks coincide – and not just in which patients, or in which tissues, or even in which cells, but on which individual stretches of chromatin. He and co-PI Harold Craighead, an engineering physicist at Cornell, have an Epigenomics Roadmap grant that will help them find […]
