epigenomeheritable
Epigenomeheritable refers to the concept that epigenetic modifications, which are heritable changes in gene expression that occur without altering the underlying DNA sequence, can be passed down from one generation to the next. These modifications can include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA activity. While DNA is the blueprint for life, the epigenome acts as a set of instructions that determine how and when genes are read.
Traditionally, heritability has been understood through changes in the DNA sequence itself, passed down through Mendelian
Research into epigenomeheritable mechanisms is ongoing and has significant implications for understanding diseases like cancer, diabetes,
