DNAmärgiseid
DNAmärgiseid, often translated as DNA tags or labels, refers to specific modifications or additions to DNA that alter its function without changing the underlying nucleotide sequence. The most well-studied type of DNAmärgiseid is DNA methylation, where a methyl group is attached to a cytosine base, typically in the context of a CpG dinucleotide. These epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in regulating gene expression, influencing processes such as development, cellular differentiation, and disease.
Other forms of DNAmärgiseid are also being investigated, including hydroxymethylation and the binding of specific proteins
Research into DNAmärgiseid has significant implications for understanding complex diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, and autoimmune
