by Nolan O’Brien Understanding how epigenetics influences weight: [Via Research Blogging - All Topics - English] In human weight loss studies, response to a given restriction of calories does not produce the same level of weight loss in every subject. Though genetic factors clearly have some role per monozygotic twin and gene manipulation studies, even then [...]

Exploring How Identical Twins Can Have Different Sexual Orientations
Library Grape (Free subscription) | 11/27/2009
This video ( highlighted by Sully ) is a fascinating piece by National Geographic that explores the possible explanations for why one identical twin can turn out straight while the other turns out gay: One thing that irks me about the start of the piece is how it refers to the " controversial question " of " Are people born gay? ". I suppose that it's accurate to describe it as...

Epigenetics: Stressed for life
Nature (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
Early-life stress (ELS) has long-lasting effects on the brain, and the epigenetic mechanisms underlying them are beginning to be unravelled. Murgatroyd et al. now show that methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2)-mediated regulation of arginine vasopressin (Avp) gene expression in parvocellular hypothalamus

A “Genomic Zoo” will attempt to map the genomes of 10,000 vertebrates, including extinct animals, far exceeding the 27 species’ genomes currently sequenced. Thylacine Will Be Sequenced Credit: National Archives of Australia In an example of epigenetics, stress during infancy reprograms the genes of mice, making them less able to cope with stressful situations throughout their lives....

Determinants of the Relationship between Cytokine Production in Pregnant Women and Their Infants
PLoS ONE (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009
Exposure to environmental factors during fetal life and infancy is thought to play an important role in the early development of innate and adaptive immunity. The immunological relationship between mother and infant and the effect that environmental exposures have during pregnancy and early childhood have not been studied extensively. Here the production of cytokines was measured in 146 pairs of mothers...

** Science On Tap... ** (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009
Nice introduction to human genetics/epigenetics from the BBC here: http://video.google.com/videoplay'docid=9208477461799586076# ("The Ghost In Your Genes," also available on YouTube in multiple parts) Our comprehension of the workings of genetics remains crude and primitive, despite advances. In 50-100 years we'll have a keener understanding of epigenetics... at which point no doubt some...
