Did Epigenetics Make Us Smart?
by Chris Womack in E3 Engaging Epigenetics Experts
Finally there’s research comparing the epigenetic marks of human brain neurons to those of other primates, and it’s found real differences that make us function in a unique way. Do these epigenetic modifications help give us the brainpower for reflection, sentience, sapience, consciousness, and so forth?... Read more »

A Device that Sorts Single Molecules of Methylated DNA – Q&A with Cornell’s Harold Craighead
by Chris Womack in E3 Engaging Epigenetics Experts
Sure, single-cell sorting devices are cool and useful and all, but Harold Craighead’s lab at the Cornell University Department of Biomedical Engineering is developing a microfluidic device that can separate individual methylated DNA fragments from a single cell’s total genetic content. In a lab test reported in their recent open-access paper (pdf) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team used the device to separate methylated plasmids from among 11 femtograms of m........

Viruses that Epigenetically Reprogram Cells to go Tumorous
by Chris Womack in E3 Engaging Epigenetics Experts
No kidding. Roberto Ferrari and colleagues at UCLA are studying DNA viruses that can change the epigenetic landscape of infected cells to make them more like cancer and less like their old selves. Adenovirus e1a introduces “small e1a oncoprotein” to change fibroblast histone marks — at least, in culture. The virus erases a cell’s previous identity, and apparently alters the cell cycle for repeated cell divisions.... Read more »
