Understanding Epigenetics: DNA Methylation and Histone Modification
Epigenetics involves modifications that impact gene expression without altering DNA sequences, playing a crucial role in the transition from genotype to phenotype. This includes DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNAs. DNA methylation, controlled by DNMT enzymes, can lead to either gene

Understanding Epigenetics: DNA Methylation and Histone Modification
Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. This involves processes like DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNAs. DNA methylation is controlled by DNA methyltransferase enzymes and plays crucial roles in gene activation and silencing. Histone modi

Signatures of Genetic Variation in Human microRNAs Point to Selection and Disease Risks
Genetic variation in human microRNAs indicates processes of positive selection and population-specific disease risks. The study explores miRNA diversity, transposable elements, nucleotide diversity, and population-specific SNP patterns. Insights into population genetics and disease susceptibility ar
