Abstract:Recent discoveries in the field of molecular biology are focused on phenomena like chromatin condensation, histone (H) modification, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, as well as the action of small non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA), which together belong to the branch of epigenetics. The term “epigenetics” was coined in 1940 by Conrad Waddington [1] who described it as “the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their product which bring phenotypes into being.” In … Show more
