  1. The #Epigenome is a dynamic layer of chemical tags and structural proteins attached to DNA. It acts as the body's software, directing the genome (hardware) on which genes to switch on or off, and when.

    It dictates cell identity, allowing identical DNA to become diverse cells like a neuron or muscle cell.

  2. "Cells that store fat, or adipocytes, and immune cells, such as macrophages, that live in fat tissue can remember weight long after it’s lost. And scientists suggest obesity causes lasting changes to those cells that make it easier to revert the body to a state of obesity, even after significant weight loss."

    "#epigenetic regulation by #DNAmethylation could be an adaptive mechanism that counteracts the effects of hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the #ocean"

  8. #Epigenome editing is an emerging technology used to regulate #gene function by controlling epigenetic states at specific locations on the #genome. This method is distinct from traditional #genetic editing, which involves permanently altering the #DNA sequence.

  16. Being able to control not just what genes exist in a genome, but also how those genes are expressed is critical to biological research, including agricultural disease resistance research.

    UCLA and Danforth Center scientists have used an older method of DNA manipulation (zinc finger nucleases) to block a cassava gene exploited by the cassava bacterial blight pathogen.
