Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence ... [This refers to] gene regulation that's dictated by very long-range ...

Despite such uncertainties, this epigenetic mechanism clearly demonstrates how profoundly environment can affect gene expression and phenotype in a long-lasting way.

Not all genes are active at all times. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression. This straightforward experiment demonstrated that it was ...
