epigenetics

• Dr. Shilatifard's publication appeared today in Genes and Development and resulted from a meeting on December 7-10, 2008 that he co-organized at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York to discuss aspects of epigenetic control in genomic function and to develop a consensus definition of "epigenetics" for consideration by the broader research community. —  Science Blog - Science news straight from the source

• "The field of 'epigenetics' has been an exciting one and has grown swiftly over the past several years, extending well beyond an initial discovery phase and identification of fundamental non-genetic and chromatin-based regulatory mechanisms," said Dr. Shilatifard. —  Health News from Medical News Today
• "This collective effort to define and discuss 'epigenetics' is an attempt to add focus and clarity to this exciting and growing area of research." —  Health News from Medical News Today
• He told me his investigations into epigenetics - the study of heritable changes in gene expression and function outside genetic variation - suggested there was a whole layer of inheritance on top of the genes which the current Modern Evolutionary Synthesis doesn't account for. —  ScreenTalk
