In the case of multiple sclerosis , a confirmatory study was published last year by kerstin berer and her colleagues at the max planck institute for immunobiology and epigenetics in freiburg , germany .
Those who believe in progress will , however , be pleased to know that epigenetics is not necessarily destiny .
如果你相信后天努力可以改变命运,那么我可以很高兴的告诉你,表观遗传不是一成不变的。
And that is why epigenetics was the subject of a particularly interesting session , held on april 1st , at a meeting of the american association for cancer research in chicago .
And , in any case , interfering with epigenetics , which is a widespread mechanism of gene regulation , is a drastic approach .
而且,在任何情况下,对表观遗传(这是在基因控制中广泛存在的一种机制)进行干预,都是一种激进的做法。
As he explained at this week 's meeting on epigenetics and neural developmental disorders , held in beltsville , maryland , imprinting might be a general mechanism whereby experiences are translated into behaviour .
Hoping to understand what 's happening in those clouds , epigenetics researchers have focused on biochemical switches that turn genes on and off .
为了了解那些基因云发生的情况,遗传学研究者们必须找到开启和关闭基因的生物学开关。
The pattern in question is that many of the genes whose breakage leads to cancer are themselves involved in a specific sort of genetic regulation , known as epigenetics .
这里提到的模式就是许多导致癌症的受损基因其本身涉及了特定的基因调控,称为表观遗传学。
If it is , it would truly be a conceptual breakthrough , and epigenetics might justly take its place alongside genetics in the analysis and treatment of cancer .
那将会是概念上的突破,表观遗传学将与遗传学一样在癌症分析与治疗中发挥作用。
Dash dhanak , who leads the epigenetics research group at glaxosmithkline , one of the world 's biggest drug companies , described to the meeting his efforts to develop a substance that will inhibit the activity of an enzyme called ezh2 .
It is something called the epigenome that keeps us from " having a long tail and a snout , " said randy jirtle , an epigenetics research pioneer at duke university in north carolina .
