 Epigenetics

Definition : Heritable changes in gene activity and expression that occur without alteration in DNA sequence

Two well-known epigenetic modifications

  1. Chemical modification to the cytosine residues of DNA (DNA methylation)
  2. Histone modification

Why is it important ? >>> Epigenetic  modifications regulate gene activity and expression during development and differentiation, or in response to environmental stimuli

Epigenetics is considered a bridge between genotype and phenotype

Explain how cells carrying identical DNA differentiate into different cell types >>> Epigenetics

Epigenome - global analyses of epigenetic markers across the entire genome

Chromatin - Histone protein / DNA complex in eukaryotic cells
