Dr. Patrick McGowan discusses how stresses early in life can potentially impact epigenetic mechanisms and disease susceptibility. This short take was shot during a break at Keystone Symposia's meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptib.... -
Once upon a time in the world of genetics, two identical twins were born. The two baby boys were named Jim and Tim Van Horn. All observable phenotypes were alike, this was no surprise because they were genetic clones. Their hair, eyes, behaviours were ... -
Paul Andersen explains the concepts of genetics. He starts with a brief discussion of the nature vs. nurture debate and shows how epigenetics blurs this distinction. He explains how differentiation of cell types results from the inactivation of certain... -
Can we make lifestyle choices that will influence our genetic code -- and that of our children? YES! Environmental factors can alter the way our genes are expressed. Join Dr. Ron Hunninghake and Dr. Anne Zauderer as they discuss this emerging field of ... -
Adaptability Explorer David Shenk There are few authors who could write important books on subjects as diverse as Alzheimer's, chess, genetics and information overload. Yet David Shenk's background as a contributor to National Geographic, the BBC and..... -
Alex welcomes biomedical research pioneer and author, Dr. Joel Wallach, to speak on his latest book, Epigenetics: The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission, which discusses the relationships between nutrition, genetics and disease. http:/... -

Hank & his clone Circus Hank explain the power of epigenetics, which studies the factors that determine how much or whether some genes are expressed in your body. Like SciShow on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/scishow Follow SciShow on Twitter! http... -
Our genes influence the way we absorb and metabolize micronutrients. Nutrigenomics looks at the influence genetic variation has over micronutrient absorption/metabolism and the biological consequences of this dynamic relationship. Our diet also influen...
