    chemical modifications that turn genes on or off

    Epigenetic Regulation refers to the process by which genes are turned on or off without changing the underlying DNA sequence. This is achieved through chemical modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can influence gene expression and, consequently, cellular function. These changes can be influenced by environmental factors and can be heritable, playing a crucial role in development, disease, and adaptation.
