Environmental epigenetics is a rapidly growing field which studies the effects of
environmental factors such as nutrition, stress, and exposure to compounds on epigenetic …

It is widely accepted that the epigenome can act as the link between environmental cues,
both external and internal, to the organism and phenotype by converting the environmental …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a well-established vertebrate model in ecotoxicology research that
responds to a wide range of xenobiotics such as pesticides, drugs, and endocrine-disrupting …

DNA methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group to nucleotides within DNA. As with
other epigenetic endpoints, patterns of DNA methylation are susceptible to alterations due to …

Zebrafish have been extensively used for studying vertebrate development and modeling
human diseases such as cancer. In the last two decades, they have also emerged as an …

There is growing evidence that environmental toxicants can affect various physiological
processes by altering DNA methylation patterns. However, very little is known about the …

A number of chemicals have been shown to affect epigenetic patterning and functions. Since
epigenetic mechanisms regulate transcriptional networks, epigenetic changes induced by …

There is increasing evidence that toxicant exposure can alter DNA methylation profile, one
of the main epigenetic mechanisms, particularly during embryogenesis when DNA …

Background Exposure to environmental stressors during development may lead to latent
and transgenerational adverse health effects. To understand the role of DNA methylation in …

Ionizing radiation is known to cause DNA damage, yet the mechanisms underlying potential
transgenerational effects of exposure have been scarcely studied. Previously, we observed …
