Heritable epigenetic changes at single genes: challenges and opportunities in Caenorhabditis elegans

Heritable epigenetic changes at single genes: challenges and opportunities in Caenorhabditis elegans

Organisms rely on stereotyped patterns of gene expression for similar form and function in every generation. The analysis of epigenetic changes in the expression of different genes across generations can provide the rationale for measured actions in one generation that consider impact on future gene...

Zusammenfassung:Organisms rely on stereotyped patterns of gene expression for similar form and function in every generation. The analysis of epigenetic changes in the expression of different genes across generations can provide the rationale for measured actions in one generation that consider impact on future generations.
