Epigenomics or epigenetics refers to the modification of DNA that can influence the
phenotype through changing gene expression without altering the nucleotide sequence of …

DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic feature that is associated with transcriptional
silencing, X-chromosome inactivation, genetic imprinting, and genomic stability. The …

Nutrients can reverse or change epigenetic phenomena such as DNA methylation and
histone modifications, thereby modifying the expression of critical genes associated with …

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification that controls gene expression in
physiologic and pathologic states. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity are …

Many micronutrients and vitamins are critical for DNA synthesis/repair and maintenance of
DNA methylation patterns. Folate has been most extensively investigated in this regard …

Variations in both the genome and epigenome can affect individual nutrient requirements. In
order to optimise nutrient intake for good health, it becomes important to understand the way …

The “Nutritional Regulation of Epigenetic Changes” Symposium was held in San Diego on
April 25 in conjunction with the 2012 Annual Meetings of the American Society of Nutrition …

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes to gene expression encoded not by differences in
the genetic sequence but by other chemical modifications to chromatin, such as methylation …

Epigenetic regulation of gene activity is of immense importance in maintaining normal and
dynamic transcription profiles of practically all cells in our body. In the meantime, cells …

The regulation of gene expression is a dynamic process that is influenced by both internal
and external factors. Alteration in the epigenetic profile is a key mechanism in the regulation …
