Environmental Epigenetics

Thanks to growing interest from the general public, environmental epigenetics is a red-hot topic with no signs of cooling off anytime soon. We’ve certainly covered our fair share of research with an environmental slant to it, so if you want to review, research, or just plain get up to speed on the subject, these articles we’ve assembled over the last few years will get you started.

EpiGenie Environmental Epigenetics Review

We've long been interested in how the environment and epigenome tango. So, if you're looking for a handpicked list of some of the pioneering breakthroughs in the field, you've found the right review.

Early-Life Stress, Epigenetics, and Disease with Dr Patrick McGowan

Dr. Patrick McGowan discusses how stresses early in life can potentially impact epigenetic mechanisms and disease susceptibility.

Epigenetics and Transgenerational Inheritance with Dr Michael Skinner

Dr. Michael Skinner lays down how environment exposures can impact epigenetics and generations to come. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia’s meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility.

Epigenetics at the Intersection of Environment and Selection

One of the first demonstrations that selection for epigenetic traits can have cumulative, heritable effects in mammals and suggests an alternative to the notion that natural selection acts on genetic variation alone.

Nature AND Nurture Both Contribute to DNA Methylation

Researchers examining the Dutch Famine pile on even more evidence that the prenatal environment and your genes can affect DNA methylation independently and additively.

Vitamin C Helps Cells Get their 5hmC On

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, may have a role in epigenetic regulation, specifically 5-hmC regulation.

Life Long Changes in DNA Methylation & ncRNAs in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)

Recent research has shown that not only can binge drinking change your child’s epigenome, but so can drinking even moderate amounts every now and then.

DNA Methylation in Twins Changes Early, Like Really Early

Researchers are reporting that DNA methylation patterns of identical and fraternal twins change a lot in their first 18 months. The kicker is that even though people thought twins’ patterns would get more different from each other over time, some pairs’ DNA methylations actually became more similar.
