Welcome to "What Is Epigenetic?"

A brief overview...

In recent years, there have been several breakthrough in the new science of epigenetics science.

The science is easy to understand but has profound implications: your genetic expression is not pre-determined and is highly influenced by the environment, triggered by mental perceptions and interactions with nature. While your DNA does correspond to your lineage, its genetic expression is ultimately the consequence.

Epigenome: The symphony in your cells

Published on Feb 18, 2015
Almost every cell in your body has the same DNA sequence. So how come a heart cell is different from a brain cell? Cells use their DNA code in different ways, depending on their jobs. Just like orchestras can perform one piece of music in many different ways.

A cell’s combined set of changes in gene expression is called its epigenome. This week Nature publishes a slew of new data on the epigenomic landscape in lots of different cells. Learn how epigenomics works in this video.

Epigenetics and a new look on metabolic syndrome




Epigenetics and a new look on metabolic syndrome.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26680230

Abstract
The incidence of metabolic syndrome increases in the developed countries, therefore biomedical research is focused on the understanding of its etiology.

The study of exact mechanisms is very complicated because both genetic and environmental factors contribute to this complex disease. The ability of environmental factors to promote phenotype changes by epigenetic DNA modifications (i.e. DNA methylation, histone modifications) was demonstrated to play an important role in the development and predisposition to particular symptoms of metabolic syndrome. There is no doubt that the early life, such as the fetal and perinatal periods, is critical for metabolic syndrome development and therefore critical for prevention of this disease.

Moreover, these changes are visible not only in individuals exposed to environmental factors but also in the subsequent progeny for multiple generations and this phenomenon is called transgenerational inheritance.

The knowledge of molecular mechanisms, by which early minor environmental stimuli modify the expression of genetic information, might be the desired key for the understanding of mechanisms leading to the change of phenotype in adulthood. This review provides a short overview of metabolic syndrome epigenetics.

Epigenetic discovery suggests DNA modifications more diverse than previously thought



The world of epigenetics—where molecular 'switches' attached to DNA turn genes on and off—has just got bigger with the discovery by a team of scientists from the University of Cambridge of a new type of epigenetic modification.
