Fine Tuning Gene Expression: The Epigenome

Abstract: An epigenetic trait is a stably inherited phenotype resulting from changes in a chromosome without alterations in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic modifications, such as; DNA methylation, together with covalent modification of histones, are thought to alter chromatin density and accessibility of the DNA to cellular machinery, thereby modulating the transcriptional potential of the underlying DNA sequence. As epigenetic marks under environmental influence, epigenetics provides an added layer of variation that might… Show more

“…11,12 La metilación del ADN también tiene una gran trascendencia en la regulación de la transcripción, 13,14 en la diferenciación celular, 15 en la estabilidad del genoma 16 y en la defensa contra virus y parásitos que potencialmente podrían dañar al ADN, a través del silenciamiento de sus secuencias. 3 Finalmente, el estado de metilación influye en la remodelación de la cromatina: la heterocromatina se encuentra mucho más metilada que la eucromatina.…”
