Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

Researchers have found a small but powerful switch inside breast cancer cells that helps them survive stressful conditions.

Researchers have identified a stress-activated control mechanism that helps breast cancer cells reshape gene activity to ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Scientists have long known that Black women with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer and those who live in disadvantaged ...

Germline pathogenic variants (gPVs) occur in a subset of patients with ovarian cancer, with the highest prevalence among those with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, followed by Asian and Hispanic patients, ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...
