GlossaryEpigenomics

study of chemical changes affecting gene expression without altering DNA

Epigenomics is the study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, which influence gene activity without altering the DNA sequence. These modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, can affect how genes are turned on or off and play a crucial role in development, disease, and environmental responses.
