Allele-specific gene expression and epigenetic modifications and their application to understanding inheritance and cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic information is characterized by its plasticity during development and differentiation as well as its stable transmission during mitotic cell divisions in somatic tissues. This duality contrasts to genetic information, which is essentially static and identical in every cell in an organism with only a few exceptions such as immunoglobulin genes in lymphocytes. Epigenetics is traditionally perceived as a...
