Key Concepts

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the field of study that examines changes in gene activity and expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. It explores how external or environmental factors can switch genes on or off through mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone modification, ultimately influencing how cells read the genomes.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is the process by which information encoded in a gene is used to direct the synthesis of proteins or other functional products. It is a tightly regulated process that ensures the right genes are expressed in the right cells at the right time, forming a fundamental aspect of biological function and development, and is a core focus of studies in epigenetics.
