paragenetikai
Paragenetikai refers to epigenetic changes that occur during gametogenesis, the process of producing germ cells (sperm and egg cells). These changes involve modifications to DNA or its associated proteins that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence but can affect gene expression. These modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, are crucial for proper development and inheritance.
During gametogenesis, epigenetic marks are established, erased, and re-established. This dynamic reprogramming ensures that germ cells
Studies of paragenetikai are important for understanding reproductive health, fertility, and the potential impact of environmental
