The definition of epigenetics refers that molecular modifications on DNA that can regulate
gene activity are independent of DNA sequence and mitotically stable. Notably, epigenetics …

The “epigenetics” concept was first described in 1942. Thus far, chemical modifications on
histones, DNA, and RNA have emerged as three important building blocks of epigenetic …

Epigenetics is the study of heritable change other than those encoded in DNA sequence.
Cytosine methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides is the most well-studied epigenetic …

In the burgeoning field of epigenetics, there are several methods available to determine the
methylation status of DNA samples. However, choosing the method that is best suited to …

BACKGROUND: In the recent past large progress has been made in the analysis of the
epigenome, the entirety of epigenetic modifications, and its meaning for the implementation …

Epigenetics refers to the collection of heritable features that modulate the genome–
environment interaction without being encoded in the actual DNA sequence. While being …

Methylation of cytosine bases in DNA provides a layer of epigenetic control in many
eukaryotes that has important implications for normal biology and disease. Therefore …

Metastable and somatically heritable patterns of DNA methylation provide an important level
of genomic regulation. In this article, we review methods for analyzing these genome-wide …

Interest in epigenetics is now booming in all the biomedical fields. Initially, interest was
sparked within the field of cancer research with the finding of global DNA hypomethylation …

Epigenetics is one of the key areas of future research that can elucidate how genomes work.
It combines genetics and the environment to address complex biological systems such as …
