<p>-What is Epigenomics?</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px">The study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, known as the epigenome.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px">Key mechanism for regulating gene expression in response to environmental changes.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px">&nbsp;DNA methylation/acetylation, histone modification</p>

<p><strong>&lt;My question&gt;</strong></p>

<p>-In some articles uploaded or sent by Jong, horses (ex. thoroughbred horse) were used as a sample for experiment. Is there any reason they used horses as a sample for their experiment, or any benefit of horses compared to other animal models such as mouse models?</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px">&nbsp;It&rsquo;s because horses are very expensive, so it may be difficult to analyze horse genome. However, many people bet on horse racing. To condition a hose for a race, they tried to find a horse that runs faster, by using their genome sequencing.</p>

<p><strong>&lt;Presentation by JeongEun&gt;</strong></p>

<p>-The topic is &lsquo;influence of HLA on human partnership and sexual satisfaction&rsquo;.</p>

<p>-HLA is human leucocyte antigen, and it is related to perception of olfactory stimuli.</p>

<p>-There are two types of HLA, HLA classⅠ/Ⅱ.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>My question</strong></p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>She said, HLA is related to odor perception, but I think there are no significant effect in the result, and the difference between the results might be an influence of the question people received.</p>
