The developing brain is extremely sensitive to many chemicals. Exposure to neurotoxicants
during development has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric and neurological …

Chromatin structure is intimately connected with gene expression and cell identity. Here we
review recent advances in the field and discuss how establishment of cell identity during …

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 …

Early-life exposure to toxicants could affect health outcomes in adulthood. We determined
the effects of early-life exposure to the organophosphorus flame-retardant tris (1, 3-dichloro …

Epigenetic variation is often characterized by modifications to DNA that do not alter the
underlying nucleotide sequence, but can influence behavior, morphology, and physiological …

Background: Methylation of CG dinucleotides constitutes a critical system of epigenetic
memory in bony vertebrates, where it modulates gene expression and suppresses …

Abstract Tris (1, 3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) has been demonstrated to be
transferred from parental animals to their offspring. However, whether parental exposure to …

Introduction Most living marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle dependent on
metamorphosis and settlement. These critical life-history events mean that a …

Somatic cloning has had a significant impact on the life sciences and is important in a variety
of processes, including medical research and animal production. However, the application …

Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) as a key group of non-coding RNAs have
gained substantial attention. Though lincRNAs have been systematically explored in various …
