Session 2: Personalised nutrition. Epigenomics: a basis for understanding individual differences?
Epigenetics encompasses changes to marks on the genome that are copied from one cell generation to the next, which may alter gene expression but which do not involve changes in the primary DNA sequence. These marks include DNA methylation (methylation of cytosines within CpG dinucleotides) and post-translational modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination) of the...
متن کاملSession 2: Personalised nutrition. Metabolomic applications in nutritional research.
Metabolomics aims to profile all small molecules that are present in biological samples such as biofluids, tissue extracts and culture media. Combining the data obtained with multivariate data analysis tools allows the exploration of changes induced by a biological treatment or changes resulting from phenotype. Recently, there has been a large increase in interest in using metabolomics in nutri...
متن کاملSession 2: Personalised nutrition. Transcriptomic signatures that have identified key features of metabolic syndrome.
The Human Genome Project and rapid advances in high-throughput molecular technologies are providing an unprecedented opportunity to advance the understanding of the common polygenic diet-related diseases, including obesity, the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, CVD and some cancers. In particular, transcriptomic approaches that allow multiple simultaneous gene-expression profiles fa...
متن کاملIndividual Differences Reveal the Basis of Consonance
Some combinations of musical notes are consonant (pleasant), whereas others are dissonant (unpleasant), a distinction central to music. Explanations of consonance in terms of acoustics, auditory neuroscience, and enculturation have been debated for centuries. We utilized individual differences to distinguish the candidate theories. We measured preferences for musical chords as well as nonmusica...
