DNA methylation is an enzymatic modification of the DNA molecule that confers unique
differential identities upon similar DNA sequences. DNA methylation plays a critical role in …

DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic modification in the human genome; pivotal in
development, genomic imprinting, X inactivation, chromosome stability, gene expression …

During cellular differentiation cell type-specific DNA methylation patterns are formed which
are conserved during life maintaining cell type identity. Cellular differentiation is an innate …

One of the outstanding questions in behavioral disorders is untangling the complex
relationship between nurture and nature. Although epidemiological data provide evidence …

Although epidemiological data provides evidence that there is an interaction between
genetics (nature) and the social and physical environments (nurture) in human …

Early life adversity is associated with long-tem impacts on behaviour and physical and
mental health. The mechanisms mediating the impact of early life environment on the …

Forming and maintaining behavioral memories is a complex process that involves, among
other requirements, transcriptional regulation and systems communication. Here we review …

An organism's ability to adapt to its environment depends on its ability to regulate and
maintain tissue specific, temporal patterns of gene transcription in response to specific …

Against this backdrop however, several studies have associated peripheral DNA
methylation changes in blood and saliva with social exposures, behavior, brain function and …

In a carefully choreographed sequence of events during vertebrate development, a single
cell divides and differentiates into hundreds of distinct cell types. What is most remarkable …
