Epigenetics and the biological definition of gene x environment interactions.

Child development - 1 Jan 2000

Meaney Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Variations in phenotype reflect the influence of environmental conditions during development on cellular functions, including that of the genome. The recent integration of epigenetics into developmental psychobiology illustrates the processes by which environmental conditions in early life struct...
