In the most recent episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Michaela Frye from the 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. #podcast #chromatin #epigenetics

Our recent paper 📜 ( see https://fediscience.org/@idealab/116284938212580094 ) was well received in national and international press. We were featured not only by the press department of Bielefeld University ( https://aktuell.uni-bielefeld.de/2026/03/25/why-no-individual-is-like-another/ ) but also by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space ( https://www.research-in-germany.org/idw-news/en_US/2026/3/2026-03-25_Why_No_Individual_Is_Like_Another.html ) and by the American popular science magazine Nautilus ( https://nautil.us/the-science-behind-being-one-of-a-kind-1279329 ).

🧬🔬 We often think of #cloning as making a perfect carbon copy, but new #research shows it's much more complicated.

Scientists found that cloned #animals experience rapid changes in how their #genes are expressed, leading to #health issues that aren't present in naturally born animals.

@DenisMeuthen , PI of the @idealab , contributed to an opinion paper 📜 in Trends in Ecology and Evolution ( @TrendsEcolEvo ) . In this paper, we hypothesize that niche processes (niche choice, niche construction, niche conformance) and epigenetic variation are causally and bidirectionally linked. Studying this bidirectional causal relationship will deepen our understanding of the proximate mechanisms underlying individualization and elucidate how epigenetic variation arises, persists, and contributes to evolution.

🧬 What if the anxiety you carry isn't entirely yours?

What if your grandfather's terror — or your grandmother's wartime hunger — is written, molecularly, into your cells?

Not metaphor. Peer-reviewed science.

A thread on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and the extraordinary hope of erasing ancestral trauma. 🧵
