A brief history of the term and concept epigenetics / Brian K. Hall -- Heuristic reductionism and the relative significance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution / James Griesemer -- The epigenetics ...
In 1994, as cited in the same issue of Science, Robin Holliday voiced a commonly apprehended drift in meaning, and redefined epigenetic as "Nuclear inheritance which is not based on differences in DNA ...
The genotype of an organism is inherited from its parents through the process of reproduction. During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of the genetic material to the offspring, ...
A phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism that result from the interaction between its genotype (genetic makeup) and the environment. It encompasses an organism's ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14 ...
The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein. This absolute theory has been debunked because ...
As next-generation sequencing swept across much of biology, scientists collected enormous amounts of information on the strings of bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine—that make up DNA, but ...
