1、表观遗传学(epigenetics)
• 表观遗传学是研究不涉及DNA序列改变的基因表达和调
控的可遗传修饰,即探索从基因演绎为表型的过程和机制的
一门新兴学科。
或:
是针对不涉及到DNA序列变化而表现为DNA 甲基化谱、
染色质结构状态和基因表达谱在细胞代间传递的遗传现象的
一门学科。
或:
研究生物体或细胞表观遗传变异的遗传学分支学科。
• Epigenetics is typically defined as the study
of heritable changes in gene expression that
are not due to changes in DNA sequence.
• Riggs and colleagues defined epigenetics as
“the study of mitotically and/or meiotically
heritable changes in gene function that
cannot be explained by changes in DNA
sequence”
