High-altitude adaptation is a classic example of natural selection operating on the human genome. Physiological and genetic adaptations have been documented in populations with a history of living at high altitude. However, ...

Fig (Ficus carica) breeding programs that use conventional approaches to develop new cultivars are rare, owing to limited genetic variability and the difficulty in obtaining plants via gamete fusion. Cytosine methylation ...

Puberty is a complex transitional phase in which reproductive capacity is achieved. There is a very wide variation in the age range of the onset of puberty, which follows a familial, ethnic, and sex pattern. The ...

Interspecific hybridization is known for triggering genetic and epigenetic changes, such as modifications on DNA methylation patterns and impact on phenotypic plasticity and ecological adaptation. Wild potatoes (Solanum, ...

In this study, we review the current knowledge and recent insights on the role of epigenetic factors in the development of human insulin resistance (IR)- and metabolic syndrome (MS)-related phenotypes, and attempt to lay ...

Tumor cells display phenotypic plasticity and heterogeneity due to genetic and epigenetic variations which limit the predictability of therapeutic interventions. Chromatin modifications can arise stochastically but can ...

Allium sativum is an important crop species in Argentina, one of the major garlic exporting countries in the world. Because garlic is an agamic propagated species, its breeding is based on the occurrence of plants with ...
