Epigenetics
Epigenetics refers to the study of gene expression and not sequence-level alterations. It decodes the complex interaction between the genetic factors (DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNAs) and environmental factors (food, lifestyle and addiction) and their impact on gene expression. This category explains the basic concept, theories, genetic factors and techniques used in epigenetic analysis.
