    Glossary Epigenetics

    study of how gene activity is regulated without changing DNA sequence

    Epigenetics refers to the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can be influenced by various factors such as environment, lifestyle, and disease, and they can affect how cells read genes, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia.
