Abstract Purpose of Review Epigenetic processes represent important mechanisms
underlying developmental plasticity in response to environmental exposures. The current …

Epigenetics, and especially DNA methylation, have recently become provocative biological
explanations for early-life environmental effects on later health. Despite the large increase in …

The ability of an environmental factor or toxicant to promote a phenotype or disease state not
only in the individual exposed, but also in subsequent progeny for multiple generations, is …

DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes during development and cell differentiation.
Recent genome-wide studies discovered that tissue-specific differentially methylated …

This study aimed to investigate whether dioxin (TCDD) and methylmercury (MeHg) pose a
threat to offspring of fish exposed to elevated concentrations of these chemicals via …

Methylation of DNA is an epigenetic mechanism that influences patterns of gene expression.
DNA methylation marks contribute to adaptive phenotypic variation but are erased during …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification with wide-ranging consequences across the
life of an organism. This modification can be stable, persisting through development despite …

DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic mechanism involved in multiple biological
processes. However, the relationship between DNA methylation and cold acclimation …

Post-fertilization epigenome reprogramming erases epigenetic marks transmitted through
gametes and establishes new marks during mid-blastula stages. The mouse embryo …

Genome-wide profiling of DNA methylation and histone modifications answered many
questions as to how the genes are regulated on a global scale and what their epigenetic …
