Oh, the Horror! Commercial RTs Create False-Positive ncRNA DetectionSeptember 16, 2011With Halloween coming soon, we usually expect some visits from goblins, ghosts, and other creepy creatures who aren’t really what they seem. Now, researchers warn that using commercial reverse transcriptase (RT) might give you another sort of ghastly scare—you might think you’re detecting antisense non-coding RNA (ncRNA) when it isn’t even there. With so much […]
Imprinted Brain Theory with Dr Christopher BadcockSeptember 13, 2011Dr. Christopher Badcock explains key epigenetic concepts of the Imprinted Brain theory and how it might change the way we think about mental disorders. 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 Brain Theory Well, […]
Epigenetics in Autism-Spectrum Disorders with Dr Janine LaSalleSeptember 13, 2011Dr. Janine LaSalle covers the epigenetics involved in autism-spectrum disorders. 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 Autism-Spectrum Disorders I’ll start with saying I kind of joked that I’ve been in epigenetics before […]
Bisphenol A (BPA) and the Epigenome with Dr Dana DolinoySeptember 13, 2011Dr. Dana Dolinoy discusses how early life exposures to environmental exposures like bisphenol A can impact the epigenome. 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. This video was made possible by support from epigenetics fans […]
Epigenetics and Transgenerational Inheritance with Dr Michael SkinnerSeptember 13, 2011Dr. Michael Skinner lays down how environment exposures can impact epigenetics and generations to come. 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 and Transgenerational Inheritance I’ve been a researcher in the area of reproductive […]
Epigenetics in Chronic Disease with Dr Ian WoodSeptember 13, 2011Dr. Ian Wood discusses the potential role of epigenetics in chronic disease development. 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 Chronic Disease So my research group, we’re interested in the mechanisms that are […]
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 […]
