epigenetics in New Scientist 2004
epigenetics in New Scientist 2004
If you listened to CBC this morning, you might have heard this very interesting discusion relating to "Epigentetics". Here, you can read a document on it written in The Scientist.
Basically, it relates to how our environment can change the way our DNA is affected...
" If you liken the genome to the hardware of a computer, Jirtle explains, then "epigenetics is the software. It's the grey area. It's just so darn beautiful if you think about it."
A door to the future of curing cancer and many other diseases has been opened through the study of epigenetics...something to look forward to
