Epigenetics and the environment: emerging patterns and implications.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 4 Jan 2012

Feil Robert, Fraga Mario F

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic phenomena in animals and plants are mediated by DNA methylation and stable chromatin modifications. There has been considerable interest in whether environmental factors modulate the establishment and maintenance of epigenetic modifications, and could thereby influence gene expression and phenotype. Chemical pollutants, dietary components, temperature changes and other external stresses can indeed have...
