EPIGENETICS

Epigenetics is the branch of science which gather  DNA modifications impacting gene expression without affecting genetic sequence. Epigenetics helps to understand how the environment might impact our gene expression and allow to dissect some of the major biological processes such as aging, cancer and the development of deseases.

Research in Epigenetics focuses on:

• DNA Methylation
• RNA Methylation
• Histone Modifications
• Chromatin Immunoprecipitation- ChIP
