but also how you use it! How are some genes activated and others are silenced? How is this controlled? The answer is epigenetics.
Epigenetics has been a hot topic for research over the past decade as it has become clear that aberrant epigenetic control contributes to
disease (particularly to cancer). Epigenetic alterations are heritable through cell division, and in some instances are able to behave similarly to
mutations in terms of their stability. Importantly, unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications are reversible and theref...
