What is History and Mechanisms of Epigenetics about?
Epigenetics, a term coined by Conrad Waddington in the 1940s, refers to the study of how environmental factors influence gene expression and development without altering the DNA sequence. Key mechanisms of epigenetics include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene activity and can be inherited across generations. The field has significant implications for understanding development, disease susceptibility, and the interplay between genetics and the environment.
