From theCambridge English Corpus
A missing factor from these experiments is any genetic marker in order to establish that adaptation represents selection from a polymorphic ancestral population, and to exclude any heritableepigeneticmechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This research provides evidence for an underlyingepigeneticmechanism.
From
Wikipedia
The choice of telomere maintenance mechanism may be influenced through epigenetic mechanisms and changes in histone modifications, possibly during tumourigenesis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The altered regulation of genes and the complex phenotype suggest that epigenetic mechanisms may be involved.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In particular, no studies have addressed the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the development of sensory maps.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We then review the current concepts of causative molecular genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, and discuss future directions of research.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The unravelling of complex epigenetic mechanisms has just begun.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, to understand senescence and tumourigenesis, both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms regulating cellular senescence must be appreciated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the developmental processes of the mammalian fetus, and epigenetic states may be evolutionarily conserved between mammals.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This allows us to use fly glial cells to study the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying neural stem cell differentiation and specification.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The importance of transcriptional regulatory networks and epigenetic mechanisms of regulation of gene expression is becoming increasingly evident.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Epigenetic mechanisms such as modification of histone proteins have been shown to be sufficient to regulate gene expression levels and specific gene promoters can become epigenetically altered at senescence.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is now accepted that epigenetic mechanisms are vital regulators of gene expression and the deregulation of epigenetic mechanisms has been linked to cancer in multiple studies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Pathways and mechanisms important to the senescence phenotype have all been shown to regulate or be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, underlying the importance of this level of control.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Stem cell homeostasis is maintained through epigenetic mechanisms that are highly dynamic in regulating the chromatin structure as well as specific gene transcription programs.
From
Wikipedia
Autoimmunity has been increasingly linked to targeted deregulation of epigenetic mechanisms, and therefore, use of epigenetic therapeutic agents may help reverse complex pathogenic processes.
From
Wikipedia
