Transgenerational Effects on Disease Susceptibility and Epigenetic Modifications
Author(s): Richard Brink*
Epigenomics is an emerging field of research that focuses on understanding the complex network of chemical modifications that influence gene
expression. It delves into the study of epigenetic mechanisms, which are dynamic and reversible modifications to the DNA and its associated
proteins, without altering the underlying genetic code. By exploring epigenetic patterns, researchers can unravel how genes are turned on or off
and how they interact with the environment. This article will delve into the fascinating world of epigenomics, its significance in human health and
disease, technological advancements and its potential applications. Epigenomics aims to investigate the epigenetic modifications that govern
gene expression. It encompasses a broad range of processes, including DNA methylation, histone modifications and chromatin remodelling
and non-coding RNA mole.. Read More»
