Check out what everyone has to say by visiting, School’s Out (Or is it in?!), hosted by Gloria Gamat at the Cancer Commentary blog.  As Gloria mentions, school is in throughout some parts of the world this time of year, while students are getting our for vacation or graduating.  (Amazon image; click on pool for details) (c)2008 Mary Emma Allen Tags: Alzheimer's Notes, Alzheimers, Cancer Commentary, Emma, family...

The editors of the journal open the issue with a brief introduction: The explosion of interest in epigenetics over the past few years has had an impact on many branches of genetic and genomic research. One of the hottest topics in the field of gene regulation relates to the role of epigenetic modifications in dictating the expression output of the genome. In genomics, the advent of technologies for the large-scale profiling of these marks has made th...

According to classical evolutionary theory, phenotypic variation originates from random mutations that are independent of selective pressure. However, recent findings suggest that organisms have evolved mechanisms to influence the timing or genomic location of heritable variability. Hypervariable contingency loci and epigenetic switches increase the variability of specific phenotypes; error-prone DNA replicases produce bursts of variability in times of stress. Interestingly, these mechanisms seem to tune the variability of a given phenotype to ma...
