DNA hydroxymethylation A hydroxymethyl group located at the 50 position on a cytosine.
Considered a mark of active demethylation catalyzed by the enzyme ten-eleven-transferase …

DNA and histone modifications are involved in the epigenetic programming and
organization of the genome. Epigenetic refers to a variety of processes that have heritable …

This multivolume reference work addresses the fact that the well being of humankind is
predicated not only on individuals receiving adequate nutrition but also on their genetic …

Epigenetics studies inheritable changes in gene expression and function that occur in the
absence of modification in the DNA sequence. In other words, this represents stable …

Epigenomics or epigenetics refers to the modification of DNA that can influence the
phenotype through changing gene expression without altering the nucleotide sequence of …

Epigenetics is a wide term representing molecular processes leading to modification of gene
expression without bringing any DNA base sequence alterations. Major epigenetic …

In this chapter, we will present nutritional epigenetics as a subdiscipline of nutrigenomics
and describe how dietary compounds affect our epigenome. Different epigenetic …

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes to gene expression encoded not by differences in
the genetic sequence but by other chemical modifications to chromatin, such as methylation …

Methylation is a major regulator of mammalian genome function in vivo. The methylation of
DNA on cytosine residues is a critical component of the host genome defense pathway …

This chapter is intended to provide a timely overview of the current state of research at the
intersection of nutrition and epigenetics. I begin by describing epigenetics and molecular …
