A simplified stochastic model for this type of epigenetics is found here.
When these epigenetics changes are heritable, they can influence evolution.
Epigenetics may be one of the mechanisms through which the environment can impact the expression of the genome.
The complexity and variability of cancer epigenetics makes this a growing and important field.
Some have pointed out that environmental inputs affect the expression of genes (see the article on epigenetics).
His laboratory's studies provided inspiration for the eukaryotic histone code and underlie the modern study of epigenetics.
It is important in epigenetics, because the hydroxymethyl group on the cytosine can possibly switch a gene on and off.
Cancer epigenetics comes of age.
