Epigenetics- the study of heritable changes that occur without a change in the DNA sequence
Examples of such changes might be DNA methylation or histone deacetylation, both of which serve to suppress gene expression without altering the sequence of the silenced genes
three interesting thing I've found in this article were that the geneticist name was Snoop Dog, that
future research could peg where certain methylation differences are associated with specific diseases, & they found that 1,252 methylation differences were associated with socio-economic circumstances in early life while just 545 were associated with socio-economic circumstances in adulthood.
I do not see this in my family.
