Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes ingene expression(active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change inphenotypewithout a change ingenotype— which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural ...
The essence of epigenetics is that transcriptional response is not only modulated by external influences but after being altered may remain stable for the whole future life of the organism. Within the individual development, early stages of life are mostly susceptible to environmental stressors, while...
This chapter introduce the concept of epigenetics and many different forms of epigenetics modifications. Potential application of epigenetics in health research and complex disease treatment is explored. Highlights of chapters in this book are also summarized....

Learn about the science of epigenetics. Read the latest educationally entertaining news about health, beauty, and more from an epigenetic perspective.
Also, what is the purpose of the epigenome? Genes? Genes are an important part of living organisms. They play a significant part in an organism's health. However, an organism's environment and its behaviors also influence the organism's h...
Epigenetics is the changes that are made on top of theDNA(not in theDNA’s main information-containing sequence). Epigenetic changes change the when and where certain proteins are made. Some of these changes can be passed on from parents to offspring. ...

Dark DNA is the genetic code in the human genome that currently has no known original source. We have traced 8% of the human genome to viruses. 1-2% of our genome comes from other animals. Believe it or not you share 55% of your genetic code with a banana – and that’s not just...
Epistasis occurs when the effect of one gene is dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes'. Its impact is primarily seen in the genetic expression of traits, where the expression of one gene can be masked or altered by another. On the other hand, epigenetics deals with chan...
