Genomic imprinting, or examining instances where paternal and maternal genomes aren’t represented equally, has kept many brilliant minds busy for decades. It has also established the foundations for emerging field of epigenetics. In the 2012 update of Genomic Imprinting: Methods and Protocols, edited by Nora Engel, experts in the field cover the most up to […]

Top Epigenetics & ncRNA Conference Picks for Winter 2013
We’re on the verge of 2013. For those of you who want to up your epigenetics research game and have some fun in the process, we’ve got conferences you should definitely check out. The year starts off a little quiet on the numbers front, but the quality more than makes up for it. January […]
EMdeCODE Deciphers Epigenetic Code, Finds New Role for Old Histone Modifications
With all the “LOL”s, “IMHO”s, and “YOLO”s out there, it’s like we’re all speaking in code. When we get stumped on what these things mean, we can always turn to Google. But what if you want to decipher the hypothetical “epigenetic code?” Well, one researcher has the answer—EMdeCODE, a new algorithm that does just that […]
EpiGenie Reviews Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression
In recent years, studies exploring the modulation of gene transcription by non-coding RNAs have definitely been on the rise. This book, Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression, written by a selection of highly regarded scientists, and edited by Kevin Morris, represents an overview and summary of this important new field to date. It’s […]
Non-Coding RNAs and Drug Addiction
Although a lot of behavioral studies are out there on drug addiction, no one really knows how addiction develops at the molecular level. A new review by researchers in Miami describes lots of evidence from more than 80 studies suggesting that non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), might have a […]
