Epigenetic Mechanisms in Genome Regulation an...

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Michaela Frye from he German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg about her work on the role of RNA modifications and RNA binding proteins in gene expression and cancer development. Central to Dr. Frey’s work is th ...  Show more

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Oliver Bell from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles about his work on chromatin-based regulatory systems that encode cellular memory and their implications for development and disease. The Interview star ...  Show more

In this episode, we explore key topics in genetics, including how sex-linked and autosomal traits are inherited. We'll break down inheritance patterns using real-world examples, like X-linked recessive diseases, and walk through Punnett square problems to show how these traits ar ...  Show more

Here we survey of the causes and consequences of genetic mutation, including a discussion of mechanisms of endogenous and induced mutations, rates of mutation, types of single nucleotide mutations, and the phenotypic effects of mutation. We also discuss various mechanisms for det ...  Show more

Jacob Kimmel thinks he can find the transcription factors to reverse aging. We do a deep dive on why this might be plausible and why evolution hasn’t optimized for longevity. We also talk about why drug discovery has been getting exponentially harder, and what a new platform for ...  Show more

Listen as two leading researchers at the cutting edge of computational biology explore breakthrough GPU accelerations that are changing how we understand life's molecular machinery. Chris Dallago, Research Lead at NVIDIA and Visiting Professor at Duke University, and Martin Stein ...  Show more
