Abstract excerpt
In plants and animals, gene expression can be altered by changes not to DNA itself but rather chemical modifications either to DNA or to histones that interact with DNA. These so called epigenetic modifications persist through cell cycle. Rapidly advancing technologies, such next generation DNA sequencing, have dramatically increased our ability to survey epigenetic markers genomewide. These techniques are...
