epigenetic changes

In some cases, epigenetic changes in people seem to be passed on to subsequent generations.

But it's hard to tell in most natural populations whether inheritance is due to DNA sequence variation or epigenetic changes.

It may be that epigenetic changes could be reinforced by mutations in the DNA, making them stable and heritable in the conventional way.

Here we review recent studies suggesting that imprinting results from global epigenetic changes that occur during female gametogenesis.

Cancer is a disease initiated by a series of cumulative genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in a normal cell.

Epigenetic changes represent a biological response to an environmental stressor.

Epigenetic changes are heritable changes to the regulation of a cell's genes, caused by extra molecules being attached to those genes.

Like genetic mutations, epigenetic changes can pass from one generation of cells to the next.

Improving technologies are now providing a broader look at the epigenetic changes linked to environment and behavior.

These techniques are revealing in great details massive epigenetic changes in cancer.

There is some evidence that the environment causes epigenetic changes that make people more susceptible to asthma.

These what-are-called epigenetic changes signal to the muscles to, well, tone up.

But epigenetic changes are not typically as stable as changes in DNA sequence.

When animals are cloned, epigenetic changes can occur.
