The Central Dogma been challenged

By admin, on October 31st, 2011%

We spoke of epigenetics in the context that the Central Dogma of gene transcription and translation is not a simple linear relation but is part of a complex cellular network system. The old theory of genetic determinism based sole on the sequence of gene determining the coding of genetic messages to form amino acids . . . → Read More: The Central Dogma been challenged

Epigenetics – an emerging area of gene research

By admin, on August 12th, 2011%

In biology, and specifically genetics, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying  DNA sequence – hence the name epi- (Greek: ???- over, above, outer) -genetics. Examples of such changes might be DNA methylation or histone deacetylation, both of which serve to suppress gene expression without altering the sequence of the silenced . . . → Read More: Epigenetics – an emerging area of gene research
