Epigenetics in comparative physiology.
Since the earliest definition of the term 'epigenetics' in 1942 (Waddington, 1942), our understanding of the concept has been refined extensively. C. H. Waddington initially understood epigenetics as the mechanism by which genes give rise to the phenotype during development (Waddington, 1957). However, we now see epigenetics more broadly as mitotically or meiotically heritable changes in gene f...
متن کاملEpigenetics in Cancer: A Hematological Perspective
For several decades, we have known that epigenetic regulation is disrupted in cancer. Recently, an increasing body of data suggests epigenetics might be an intersection of current cancer research trends: next generation sequencing, immunology, metabolomics, and cell aging. The new emphasis on epigenetics is also related to the increasing production of drugs capable of interfering with epigeneti...
متن کاملEpigenetics and transgenerational transfer: a physiological perspective.
Epigenetics, the transgenerational transfer of phenotypic characters without modification of gene sequence, is a burgeoning area of study in many disciplines of biology. However, the potential impact of this phenomenon on the physiology of animals is not yet broadly appreciated, in part because the phenomenon of epigenetics is not typically part of the design of physiological investigations. St...
متن کاملA repetitive elements perspective in Polycomb epigenetics
Repetitive elements comprise over two-thirds of the human genome. For a long time, these elements have received little attention since they were considered non-functional. On the contrary, recent evidence indicates that they play central roles in genome integrity, gene expression, and disease. Indeed, repeats display meiotic instability associated with disease and are located within common frag...
متن کاملa head parameter survey on mazandarani dialect and its effect(s) on learning english from ca perspective (on the basis of x-bar syntax)1
there has been a gradual shift of focus from the study of rule systems, which have increasingly been regarded as impoverished, … to the study of systems of principles, which appear to occupy a much more central position in determining the character and variety of possible human languages. there is a set of absolute universals, notions and principles existing in ug which do not vary from one ...
