Detailed explanation-1: -Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. “Epi-"means on or above in Greek, and “epigenetic” describes factors beyond the genetic code.
Detailed explanation-3: -Epigenetics is the study of heritable and stable changes in gene expression that occur through alterations in the chromosome rather than in the DNA sequence.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of turning genes on and off is known as gene regulation. Gene regulation is an important part of normal development. Genes are turned on and off in different patterns during development to make a brain cell look and act different from a liver cell or a muscle cell, for example.
Detailed explanation-5: -“Epigenetics” is the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. Epigenetics studies can be extremely extensive, but are centered mainly on DNA methylation, histone modification, noncoding RNA and chromatin remodeling.
