Epigenetics : mechanisms, functions and human effects /

"Epigenetics refers to DNA and chromatin modifications that persist from one cell division to the next despite a lack of change in the underlying DNA sequence. It is an emergent field since its implication in physiological and disease processes is now widely accepted. The effects of epigenetics...
