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

Although epidemiological data provide evidence that early life experience plays a critical
role in human development, the mechanism of how this works remains in question. Recent …

The impact of early physical and social environments on life-long phenotypes is well known.
Moreover, we have documented evidence for gene–environment interactions where …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark involved in regulating genome function and is critical
for normal development in mammals. It has been observed that the developmental …

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 genome is programmed by the epigenome. Two of the fundamental components of the
epigenome are chromatin structure and covalent modification of the DNA molecule itself by …

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

DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic and hereditary mechanisms regulating genetic
expression in mammalian cells. In this review, we propose how certain natural agents …

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 …

The epigenome consists of chemical changes in DNA and chromatin that without modifying
the DNA sequence modulate gene expression and cellular phenotype. The epigenome is …
