Epigenetics and neuroplasticity - evidence and debate /

The 'epi-(Greek for 'over', 'above')genome', with its rich cache of highly regulated, structural modifications-including DNA methylation, histone modifications and histone variants-defines the moldings and three-dimensional structures of the genomic material inside the...
